Louisiana Republican primary, 2008

The 2008 Louisiana Republican primary took place on February 9, 2008.

Under Louisiana Republican Party rules, since no candidate received a majority of the vote, no delegates are pledged as a result of this primary. 21 delegates have already indirectly been assigned via the Louisiana Republican caucus held on January 22. The 20 delegates elected at the state convention will be formally unpledged, although an estimated 41 of Louisiana's 47 delegates are going to support John McCain, and the state party chair congratulated McCain on winning those 41 delegates, before the primary was held on February 9, 2008.

At the state convention, held February 16, the Associated Press identified 32 McCain delegates from the caucus process, with three uncommitted and nine unavailable for comment. The AP also confirmed that the three party delegates support McCain, giving him 35 delegates from Louisiana.
