I guess it’s because WY is a sure red state again. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I hope that WY citizens understand that in the grand scheme of things, they need to focus more on the swing states.

As for the dems, well, the Plains and Deep South are out for them. They won’t even try.

Hi Michelle,

I actually live in WY. Interesting how the press even gets in wrong, referring to our county conventions as caucuses. Our caucuses actually took place in December. Wyoming is a convention state, and this is the first time in history that we’ve ever had a voice in presidential primary politics.

The precinct committee men and women are the only ones with a vote in most of the counties. You’d be surprised at how some of the candidates have catered to these people for their votes.

Personally, it’s been stressful and I’ll be glad when tomorrow is over.

I lived in Laramie for several years each summer while my dad was working for his doctorate there. They had a saying about Wyoming, which wasn’t far from the truth: 11 months winter and 1 month late fall.

That said, the quality of life (at that time) was so good, that my family agrees unanimously, that in spite of the cold, it was the best time we ever had.

About froze my mitts off many a time in the Medicine Bows snowmobiling and innertubing.

My home state!!!

You know why it is so windy in Wyoming?

‘Cause Colorado sucks..

I’m living in Michigan now..
every year or twice a year, there is a job fair from the State of Wyoming looking for people to fill jobs there..

Hmmmm. . . they must have moved it up just this year then. I did not realize that they have their caucus this weekend. Seems like a good place for someone like Hunter to get a few delegates for a seat in the convention anyway.

Thanks MM. Once again providing the NEWS that the MSM won’t do.

Alas, it’s red state status is no longer pristine, since Teton County (Jackson) voted Kerry in 2004. Dang limo libs.

You’re right about that. I think the only reason we keep Teton county is for the tax base. It’s politics are so far out of step from the rest of the state (not to mention per capita income).

Cody is real nice though. I have an uncle that grew up there. He’s lived in Spokane since getting out of the Air Force sometime in the mid 60′s, but I think he still has family there.

Unfortunatley his last name is Johnson, so even in a small town. . . .

Ah, the wind. I grew up in Cody, and the wind would polish the snow drifts into frozen waves that were harder than concrete. Only the Wyoming wind could take the fun out of snow.

TXRose, you’re going to have to look elsewhare for reporting on honor killings. Fox isn’t much better than the rest of the MSM when it comes to covering islam. Pitiful at best.

And Shrillery and Bubba touching is just for ratings. Kind of like photos of train wrecks.

Turned on local Fox to hear about honor killings and am being beaten over the
head with candidates. They actually showed HRC and Bill (gasp!) touching!

Whoops, sorry about that. my last comments about Wyoming was not a bash to the state just an opinion from a guy who lived in Utah and went to Wyoming…a lot.

No offense taken (can’t argue with the truth.)

I spent most of my life in Utah (Kearns/Taylorsville area) and moved to Wyoming in ’98. Got tired of paying non-resident hunting fees and too dangerous to hunt in Utah.

“Since Wyoming first gave women the right to vote,…”

I think they had the first black woman voted into office as well.
.
Damn windy up there sometimes, but our neighbors to the north are good people and don’t make much noise…keepers if you ask me. All 1/2 million of ‘em.

I’d bet they’re more “real America” in Wyoming than Iowa pretends to be.
