Romney Wins Wyoming Caucuses

Romney won today's caucuses in Wyoming, according to CNN.

(CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will win the Wyoming Republican caucuses, CNN projects.

With 67 percent of caucuses reporting, Romney has won six of Wyoming's 12 delegates.

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and California Rep. Duncan Hunter have each won one delegate.

Wyoming's Republican contest comes two days after the Iowa caucuses and three days before the New Hampshire primary.

The early date of the Wyoming GOP county conventions was intended to draw candidates' attention to the state, but has had only modest results.

Republican hopefuls Romney, Hunter, Fred Thompson and Ron Paul all stopped by the state -- visits they probably wouldn't have made except for this year's early conventions -- and candidates have sent Wyoming's GOP voters a flood of campaign mail.

The traditional leadoff nomination contests in Iowa and New Hampshire have dominated the attention of both candidates and the national media in recent months, and no candidates visited Wyoming in the four weeks leading up to the caucuses.

***UPDATE***: Fox News is reporting that Romney won 8 of the 12 delegates allocated today with Duncan Hunter winning one and Fred Thompson taking the remaining three.
