What else happened in the Wyoming caucus? I've heard nothing at all.

It wasn't much of anything since the people of Wyoming don't get to vote in it. All that happened is the GOP officials of the state (the old Bush bunch) huddled together and picked who they wanted to assign delegates to. Doesn't sound very "American" to me, and certainly not the will of the people of Wyoming.

Way off topic, but I just heard the following on BBC and thought of Steve:
Iraqi soldier 'killed US troops'
An Iraqi soldier has opened fire on American troops, killing two and wounding three others, US and Iraqi officials have said.
The incident happened during a joint patrol in the north on 26 December, but fuller details have only now emerged.
An Iraqi general said the patrol had come under fire from gunmen in the city of Mosul, but his soldier had "abused" the situation and shot the Americans.
It is thought to be the first such case since the US-led invasion of 2003.
The US initially reported the deaths of Capt Rowdy Inman, 38, and Sgt Benjamin Portell, 27, as resulting from hostile small arms fire.
But Iraqi general Mutaa al-Khazraji said: "They [the joint patrol] were attacked by gunmen and the [Iraqi] soldier abused the situation and killed the two soldiers."
He said the Iraqi serviceman had been "an insurgent infiltrator". He was arrested and is being questioned.
An interpreter was also wounded alongside the three other soldiers.
Tensions remain high in Mosul - an ethnically mixed area that is home to a variety of Muslim and Christian communities.
"The shooting was deliberate, it was not an accident", according to an Iraqi general, Noor al-Din Hussein.
As I recall, Steve thought it was just a matter of time.

Is there politics in Wyoming?
Ensley, the way they do it in Wyoming (at least on the Repug side) sounds like worse than the old smokefilled room. It was at least possible to do some active horsetrading in the smokefilled room. Looks like they just drew secret straws and did it.
Stalin would be so proud.

Squeaky, I spotted that yesterday and I was not really surprised - or at least a bit surprised that it took this long for our erstwhile Allies in Iraq to turn the guns we've given them on us.
Bad enough we're standing between rival ethno-religious factions; now we have to watch out for the godsdamned army we've built up.

Fredrick of Hollywood picked up 3 delegates? I'm seeing a brokered convention!
Sadly, Ol' Fred's not long for this race. I will miss the Thompson Twins (.)(.)though.
