Romney has a strong campaign in WY.
Santorum has none, but obviously he is riding a wave of media-generated popularity now.
Paul has little campaign too, but has strong grassroots in WY.
Newt has neither the organization, the popularity nor the grassroots.
As the rest of the results come in, I don't expect the percentages to change much, but I'll update as I know more.
P.S: To Paul supporters - Paul is doing great in WY on the delegate front.
Yup.
I would call it Romeny #1, Paul #2.
Wyoming has a lot of Mormons and is the home of Dick Cheney. Those would naturally put Mitt in the lead. But it's also a strong Libertarian state, so Paul will do well there.
The others- not so much. Too much 'Eastern' in them.

Thanks for the update. I didn't realize there was a large LDS presence there but it makes sense.
Are you sure? My understanding is that the Wyoming caucus are from March 6-10. I have not seen any news about it nor have I seen any information on it on the election sites I check. Could you please provide a link?

I think all the News networks just called it for, Other. FOX called it for Palin.

March 6 is the date for the WY conventions, the caucuses have already happened. Media has no clue, as usual. Yes, these are straw polls, much like the non-binding straw polls in every other caucus state, so beyond bragging rights, the wins don't mean anything.

So I did more research on this and here is what I found.
This is a non binding straw poll. The precinct caucuses were finished on the 19th of feb. and the county conventions are on the 6-10 of March. The state convention is in April. Delegates to the county conventions were elected on August 17th which would seem to foreclose Paul supporters from their usual tricks unless they were, organized really early. So this does not even have the import of a regular caucus.
