Seen at CNN:
CNN doesn’t say who’s getting the 12th delegate.
You know, if any non first-tier candidates were going to get the odd delegate, I would have expected it to be Ron Paul. I thought Hunter was out already.

So, it appears that “Lakota Oyate” are continuing on with their redeclaration of independence. The map on the left now appears on the group’s website, along with an interesting press release:
Property ownership in the five state area of Lakota now takes center stage. Parts of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana have been illegally homesteaded for years despite knowledge of Lakota as predecessor sovereign [historic owner]. Lakota representatives say if the United States does not enter into immediate diplomatic negotiations, liens will be filed on real estate transactions in the five state region, clouding title over literally thousands of square miles of land and property.
Well, I suppose that’s one way to grab folks’ attention — kill the real estate market, and trigger a court battle that they’re likely to fail (presumably over some question as to whether the Lakota Freedom folks are the appropriate representatives of the Lakota Nation, as well as failure to adequately exercise their claim in years previous), but I respect the chutzpah.

In case you missed it (I almost did, and it’s received virtually no media play) today is GOP caucus day in Wyoming, where 12 of the state’s 14 delegates will be allocated.
A little bit of searching suggests that Wyoming hasn’t really been a factor in past nominating contests. However, given the lack of campaigning in the state, it’ll at least be interesting to see how the vote turns out.
