The Forgotten Caucus

Did you know that today is the Wyoming caucus? Stuck between Iowa and New Hampshire, Wyoming is overlooked, as the media is focused solidly on New Hampshire. Only Republicans are involved, and 12 delegates are at stake. Everyone figures that Romney will handily take the state under the arcane caucus rules. Three GOPers didn't even bother to campaign in the state at all: John McCain, Mike Huckabee, and Rudy Giuliani. Romney has visited the state twice, and his family has been quite active there. Jim Geraghty thinks the caucus results will go as follows:
Discussions with local county chairs suggest the following results, or something along these lines, would not be surprising: eight delegates for Romney, two delegates for Thompson, one delegate for Ron Paul, and one delegate for Duncan Hunter.
UPDATE:
Romney has taken the early lead.
