The 2008 Minnesota Republican caucuses took place on February 5, 2008, with 38 national delegates at stake. The caucuses were considered a non-binding straw poll, since Minnesota officially chose 24 delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention during district conventions from May 3 to May 24, 2008, and the remaining 14 delegates during the state convention on June 7, 2008.[1] Those delegates to the national convention officially nominated the President. Mitt Romney was the winner of the Minnesota caucuses.
The 2008 Republican National Convention was held in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota from September 1 until September 4, 2008.
