Michelle has a post on it here. The AP reports Romney with four delegates so far. Hunter with 1. Thompson registered in the vote results:
The former Massachusetts governor gained the first four delegates while California Rep. Duncan Hunter won a fifth.
Romney easily led the overall vote with more than 50 percent. Hunter was second with 21 percent and Fred Thompson, who hadn't won any delegates, was third with 17 percent. Results were expected throughout the day.
It won't get big media play but it's worthy of note. You don't see the names Huckabee or McCain in the results. Neither will play well for the GOP across the board. For that alone, Romney can survive a second in New Hampshire, though Michigan is now a must have. At some point before Super Tuesday, there will be a re-focusing and things will start looking more like a national election. Who that might eventually benefit remains very unclear.
This thing could drag on so long, it's impossible to predict who might be standing at the end. And they might find themself standing alone for the first time on the convention floor.
According to Yahoo News:
"CASPER, Wyo. - Mitt Romney captured his first win of the Republican presidential race, gaining most of Wyoming’s delegates at stake in GOP caucuses on Saturday.
The former Massachusetts governor won six of the first eight delegates to be selected. Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and California Rep. Duncan Hunter won one apiece, meaning no other candidate could beat Romney. Caucuses were still being held to decide all 12 delegates at stake. "
