Results of the 2008 Republican Party presidential primaries

This article contains the results of the 2008 Republican presidential primaries and caucuses.

The 2008 Republican primaries were the selection processes by which the Republican Party selected delegates to attend the 2008 Republican National Convention. The series of primaries, caucuses, and state conventions culminated in the National Convention which was held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 1–4, 2008, where the delegates voted on and selected a candidate. A simple majority of delegate votes in September (1,191 out of 2,380) was required to become the party's nominee; estimates based on delegate pledges had John McCain surpassing this total after the March 4 primaries in Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont.

Candidates

edit

The only candidate with a national campaign at the end of the primary season was John McCain. Withdrawn candidates who had national campaigns were Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee,[1] Sam Brownback, John H. Cox, Jim Gilmore, Rudy Giuliani, Duncan Hunter, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, and Tommy Thompson.

Delegate count estimates

edit

Several media sources estimated the number of delegates supporting each candidate using the popular vote results of primary contests and statements from party officials and individual delegates. Delegates could be "pledged" and obligated by state party rules to vote for a specific candidate on the first ballot of the convention, or "unpledged" and able to vote for any candidate. Since several states selected delegates months after their primary or caucus date, many delegate counts for individual states were estimated based on the popular vote results in the contest.[3]

Notes

edit
A Vote totals include votes for minor candidates, "uncommitted", "no preference", "write-ins", and other options.
B Precinct or district delegates chosen during this caucus elected the state's national delegates at a later convention. National delegates were not pledged to any candidate based on the caucus results.
C 20 Michigan delegates were initially projected for Mitt Romney, but because Romney suspended his campaign between the primary and the state convention for delegate selection, they were instead uncommitted.[11]
D This state selected delegates with multiple primaries, caucuses, or conventions.
E In the U.S. Virgin Islands territorial meeting, 47% of the vote went to uncommitted.[53]
F One delegate from Idaho was pledged to "none of the above".[61]
G The Ron Paul campaign claimed to have received three West Virginia delegates in exchange for supporting Huckabee at the state convention.[68] Two West Virginia delegates voted for Paul at the national convention.[2]

The district caucuses selected state delegates for the state convention on February 16, 2008.

A large number of delegates ran on an uncommitted pro-life platform. In the days after the caucuses, it was reported McCain had the support of the most delegates, followed by Paul and Romney.[82][83] According to party chairman Roger Villere Jr., supporters of John McCain had majorities in congressional districts 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7, which he predicted would give McCain control of 41 of 47 of Louisiana's delegates.[84] By February 1, the uncommitted pro-life delegates supported McCain, along with Louisiana's three RNC members, ensuring McCain would have control of Louisiana's delegation.[85]
