NORTH DAKOTA REPUBLICAN CAUCUS VOTE
(February 29, 2000)
North Dakota was the belt buckle of George W. Bushs bicoastal victories Feb. 29, and continued his domination of caucus voting that began in Iowa.
Bush won more than three-quarters of the North Dakota vote, befitting his support from the states Republican governor and much of the party leadership. The result also reflected the McCain campaigns continued lack of engagement in the caucus states - a campaign which began with him conspicuously skipping Iowa.
McCain made a brief caucus-eve appearance at an airport rally in Bismarck. But it did little to boost his cause in the statewide caucus vote the following evening, as Bush swept all 49 state legislative districts.
Yet with North Dakotas 19 delegates divided proportionally, all of the candidates came away with a prize, including Alan Keyes, who won his first delegate of the year.
Following are the results from the North Dakota GOP caucus:
