According to the Green Papers:
Wyoming is holding county conventions on the 5th of January. It is not a primary, it is not even a caucus--the only people who are voting are the ~980 precinct committee members (who were selected in 2006).
Only 12 of the 23 counties are actually choosing delegates: Albany, Sweetwater, Uinta, Teton, Fremont, Hot Springs, Sheridan, Campbell, Crook, Converse, and Goshen each pick one delegate. Laramie picks one delegate and one alternate. The other 11 counties pick one alternate each [each paired up with a delegate from one of the first 11 counties]
Thus, only about...450 people in the state of Wyoming are actually going to be choosing delegates. We will probably know how many delegates are for each candidate (delegates must announce who they intend to support), but it's hardly a representative vote--and is thus likely to get essentially zero press.
The other 2 (formerly 16) delegates will be chosen at the State Convention at the end of May.
