2008 GOP Primary Results

The 2012 Republican Primary dates are tentative and subject to change. The total number of 2008 state delegates is listed and include the breakdown between pledged (P) or Unpledged (U). 2008 primary results are in red.

Where Ron Paul got double digits in 2008:  ID 24, WA 22, ME 18, AK 17, SD 17, MN 16, PA 16, OR 15, NE 14, NV 14, NM 14, KS 11, IA 10 (highlighted in yellow)  A caucus rather than a primary favors Ron Paul.

Saturday, January 7 County Conventions.  Friday May 25 Conventions Wyoming

Romney 67, Thompson 25, Hunter 1

Wyoming is very hostile to Ron Paul.  Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, Paul, Tancredo all got 0.  Because Thompson was hot early on, he got some delegates.  If Paulites don’t dominate those early Wyoming county conventions, they won’t have the delegates to send to the 5/25 convention.

More information on the 2012 Republican Primary schedule and the changes which will happen to the 2012 schedule:

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Republican National Committee adopted a new schedule for the 2012 presidential primaries Friday, agreeing to a plan worked out in concert with Democrats and designed to delay the start of the campaign season.

The proposal, drafted by a special RNC panel, gained approval from more than the necessary two-thirds of the committee's 168 members.

Party leaders hailed the vote as a historic change in the presidential selection process, one that would avoid the development of a single national primary in which states choose to hold their nominating contests on the same day.

The new schedule is designed to make it difficult for a candidate to rack up an insurmountable number of delegates early in the process, forcing candidates to campaign across the country.

Under the new schedule, no state would hold a primary or caucus before the first Tuesday in February 2012, in attempt to avoid a repetition of 2008, when the Iowa caucuses were held Jan. 3.

Iowa and New Hampshire would retain their status as the nation's first contests, held in February, joined by South Carolina and Nevada.

Other contests would generally be held in April or later, although states would have the option of holding votes in March, provided convention delegates chosen at those elections were awarded to candidates in proportion to the percentage of the vote they received, rather than in a winner-take-all system.
