As expected, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney won the Wyoming Republican party caucus today, getting the lions share of delegates and the first win of the campaign.
According to those on the ground http://trib.com, it was because Mr. Romney visited the state and out of those that did, including Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter, they also won one delegate each.
It is important in this sense.
Mr. Romney is the only candidate that can visit every nook and cranny that will be needed to defeat the Democrat presidential nominee. None of the other so-called front runners have the finances to keep up with what will be a Democrat Tsunami of cash on hand.
Another aside. Today on "Weekend Live" on Fox News Channel, Washington Examiner writer Bill Sammon said that even if Romney should lose the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday and is in second place, he will show consistency and may end up being the anti-Huckabee and or the anti-McCain.
These are all things to keep in mind. A win in a state like Wyoming may not seem like much. But it shows some ability to do what the DDBMSM claims the Rev. Mike Huckabee does-connect with people.
Those that are running on identity politics such as the Rev. Mike and Arizona senator John "F--- You" McCain can only go so far. They are not running as Republicans. They are not trying to show any appeal beyond their special groups. The Republicans will need a serious candidate with the temperament and ability to reach all groups within the conservative-Republican coalition.
Mitt Romney is showing that. One win down, on to a win in New Hampshire on Tuesday!
