Carole Meekins started with the news that Mitt Romney had finally won his first state (Michigan) tonight. I hate to pick on Carole, this has been happenining all over the news I’m sure, but here goes anyway.
I’d like to give you all some information about Wyoming:
Capital. . . .Cheyenne
Nickname. . . .Big Wyoming, Equality State, Cowboy State
Motto. . .”Equal Rights”
Admitted To Union. . . July 10, 1890-44th State
Size. . .97,914 square miles, 9th largest state
Highest Point. . . Gannett Peak, 13,804 feet
Lowest Point. . . 3,100 feet Belle Fourche River
Average Annual Precipitation. . . 4.5 inches
Population (2000 Census). . .493,782
Oh, and one more thing.
Wyoming held their Caucus 11 days ago and Mitt Romney won by garnering an amazing 67% of the vote. Former Senator Fred Thompson came in second with 25%.
Yes, Wyoming does have one fewer electoral vote than New Hampshire does so it makes perfect sense that the news media has completely ignored the Wyoming results.
UPDATE: This is from the AP this morning:
Scorecard:
Michigan — Mitt Romney.
New Hampshire — John McCain.
Iowa — Mike Huckabee.
Poor little Wyoming is missing again.
