Wyoming Today

Wyoming holds their caucus today. It appears to truly be an interesting process. By the way, these will be the first delegates chosen this year. The process is described in the Billings Gazette:

County conventions start at different times in each county, and rules may vary by county. Here's a look at how the process will generally work:

• Any Republican who lives in the county where the convention is held can compete to be a delegate. They can nominate themselves or rely on a nomination from someone else.

• After the nominations, each nominee has a chance to address the convention. Most will probably announce which candidate they intend to support and why that's the best choice. More than one nominee can support the same candidate.

• Republican committee members, and those selected at the precinct meetings two weeks ago, are allowed to question the nominees before voting commences. The audience is not.

• Voting is held in rounds, with party leaders and representatives elected at precinct caucuses allowed to cast their vote for a nominee.

• The lowest vote-getter from each round is dropped and voting continues until someone receives 50 percent of the vote, plus one.

There have been no polls in Wyoming, but the leaders seem to be Fred and Mitt. The good thing for Fred is that he got a timely endorsement from the Wyoming Right to Life committee.
