BOISE, Id –Idaho’s Republican Party holds its first presidential caucus Tuesday. Party leaders decided to move from a May Primary to a Super Tuesday caucus last summer. At that time Idaho’s GOP executive director Jonathan Parker said the decision came because the party was tired of candidates stopping briefly in Idaho to raise some money then leave for other states.
Jonathan Parker “Idaho does have 32 delegates to the Republican National convention, which is more than Iowa, more than New Hampshire, more than Nevada. Idaho is and should be a player on the national scene with that amount of delegates for the 2012 nomination.”
Parker now says that decision has paid off.
