A stealth win for Willard

Mitt Romney captured his first win of the Republican presidential race, gaining most of Wyoming's delegates at stake in GOP caucuses on Saturday.

Wyoming? It's some state way over there. Cheney's state, if that narrows it down any. Also one of Willard's kids owns a ranch there. They moved their primary - actually, caucus - up. Surprise!

Wyoming had scheduled its GOP county conventions earlier to attract candidates to the state but had only modest results.

Romney apparently won mostly because no other candidates paid much attention to the race "but also he's the right person for the job," says Leigh Vosler of Cheyenne, reportedly some city there.

Oh yeah, and...

RNC rules require the punishment for states that hold their nominating contests earlier than Feb. 5. Iowa, which held caucuses on Thursday, will not be penalized because, technically, the caucuses are not binding on convention delegates.

No word on what the punishment is but if it's the Rs involved it must be baaaaad.
