2008 Montana Republican presidential caucuses and primary
The 2008 Montana Republican caucuses will take place on February 5, 2008, with 25 national delegates.[1] The first caucuses were scheduled for midday in Sheridan County and Judith Basin County. Final results are expected by 10 p.m. MST.[2]
In the fall of 2007, Montana's Republican Party decided to create a caucus for Super Tuesday. They hoped to "boost the state's profile among the campaigns and energize the party." In spite of this change, only one presidential candidate actually visited Montana, Mitt Romney in June 2007. McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul each orchestrated last-minute conference calls with voters at caucus sites.[2]
Endorsements
Former Senator Conrad Burns endorsed McCain. Secretary of State Brad Johnson endorsed Romney. Former Governor Judy Martz endorsed Huckabee.[2]
