Hunter ping.

Good for them, is exactly my thoughts. I won’t be watching.

Finally, someone has enough sense to know that cutting off candidates who are still in the race is not part of what a real Republic does.

Thanks for the ping! Screw the kingmakers at Fox News.

Breaking News: Mitt Romney wins Wyoming

The candidate wasn’t within 1,500 miles, but Mitt Romney scored a victory just now. He won most of the first Republican delegates selected in Wyoming, which had moved its county selection date up on the calendar to attract more attention from candidates who usually just fly over most of the Rocky Mountain states.

The Republican candidates did flood the state with campaign literature. But Romney, who lived next-door in Utah while reviving the Winter Olympics, did that and then also visited. He’s quietly made stops in several of the less-populated once-reliably Republican states including Montana and Wyoming. And today he was rewarded with at least a minor public relations victory, six delegates, just four days after his disappointing second-place finish in Iowa.

“Today,” Romney said in a statement to be issued shortly, “the people of Wyoming took the first step towards bringing true conservative change to Washington. From Gillette to Jackson and Riverton to Cheyenne, my family and I visited Wyoming many times, meeting with residents and addressing the issues most important to voters in the Cowboy State.”

It’s not big like the win in Iowa by Mike Huckabee, who got none of Wyoming’s delegates, something of an embarrassment since former Wyo. Gov. Jim Geringer is a Huckabee national co-chair. Nor did big-city boy Rudy Giuliani win any. Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter, two conservatives who both campaigned in the Cowboy state, each won two delegates. Ron Paul, a Texan who also campaigned there and beat Giuliani in Iowa, won none.
