Wyoming GOP disappointed in candidate turnout

Associated Press - January 4, 2008

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - The executive director of the Wyoming Republican Party says she's disappointed that presidential candidates focused on the Iowa caucuses and jetted off to New Hampshire without swinging out to Wyoming in between.

Amy Larimer says Wyoming has been a bit overlooked.

Because the Iowa caucuses are a straw poll - no delegates actually are chosen until later - Wyoming's Republicans will choose the first 12 national convention delegates on Saturday.

No candidate has been to Wyoming, however, since Duncan Hunter visited a month ago.

Like Republicans and Democrats in other states, Wyoming's Republicans held their primary season event early in a bid to draw candidates' attention. They were partly successful - drawing visits from Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul and Hunter last fall.

2 of those four sent relatives to Wyoming ahead of the state Republicans' county conventions. Romney sent 2 of his five sons and Hunter sent his wife, Lynne.

Lynne Hunter spent part of her early childhood in Wheatland.
