CASPER, Wyo. — Mitt Romney grabbed the early lead in Wyoming’s Republican caucuses Saturday as the state had its brief moment in the political spotlight sandwiched between attention-getting contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.
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.

I agree, I don’t like superdelegates either; they should get one vote at their home state/district/territory delegation.
The Democrats have far, far more superdelegates, and because of that, Hillary has a huge lead still:
Hillary Clinton - 169 (15)
Barack Obama - 66 (16)
John Edwards - 47 (13)
Bill Richardson - 19 (0)
Dennis Kucinich - 0 (0)
Mike Gravel - 0 (0)
Chris Dodd (WD) - 0 (0)
Joe Biden (WD) - 0 (0)
