Can Someone Explain Why The Campaign has Not been in WY more?

I can't believe the campaign didn't bother to at least spend a weeek or so covering all over Wyoming. What are they waiting for? This will not be delivered on a platter. I'm glad they are running ads etc, but what is with not going to more events and having Dr Paul go down to busy malls and streets visiting businesses and customers? There is so much power in meeting and greeting people one on one.
This is the kind of story that bugs me:

time and distance
Wyoming is a long distance from DC where Dr. Paul is still an active participant in congress. It is also a geographically large state with lots of rural areas. From my understanding, the Ron Paul volunteers have been doing their part and both Dr. Paul and Mitt Romney are expected to do well. We'll see tomorrow how it turns out.
The media is not reporting on Wyoming
Look at CNN or any of the MSMs websites. Good luck finding anyone mention that the state has an early caucus. Also, the number of delegates they get for the state has been cut in half because of the early caucus. It does not make much sense to be there when he won't get much publicity. This is my opinion. I may try and contact the campaign tomorrow to find out if they have numbers we can call there to get the vote out.
For whatever reason...
nobody gives a flying hullaboo about Wyoming.
I've heard the Wyoming
I've heard the Wyoming caucus is really weird---and you thought Iowa was strange! Like most delegates are already set but aren't locked into a candidate until they actually vote for the Nomination. All the details have been rather sketchy but it really seems that Wyoming did get way more attention than in previous elections but the money is better spent in NH.
The problem is according to
The problem is according to the official website the Campaign has not campaigned very much. Their schedule is dim to say the least. WHy not do at least 4-5 days a week different places, meeting people etc. And to leave Wyoming alone seems foolish to me.
