The 2008 Indiana Republican presidential primary took place on May 6, 2008. 27 delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention were selected in the election.[1]

In addition, 27 other delegates were selected during the state convention from June 9 to June 10, 2008.

John McCain was the winner of the election and of all of Indiana's delegates.

Polling

[edit]

No polling was conducted in Indiana for the Republican primary because John McCain was the Republican Party's presumptive nominee.

Campaigning

[edit]

Unlike on the Democratic side, little campaigning took place as John McCain had already clinched the nomination. Ron Paul made only a few stops in the state, including Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne a day before the primary.
