Media coverage of the 5 April Caucus

Quiet Night for V.I. GOP Caucus

5 April 2008 - St. Croix Source: "With Arizona Sen. John McCain the party's presumptive presidential candidate, the election was really about who will be the nine delegates and six alternates to the Republican National Convention ... not which candidate they will support.

   

Saturday 5 April 2008: Territorial Caucuses will meet on St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John as a Convention to choose 6 delegates to the Republican National Convention.

  • The delegates from the Virgin Islands are chosen in such a way so that they best reflect the presidential preference of the Caucus/Convention participants.
  • Delegates are directly elected. The top 6 vote getters are elected as delegates.

In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Virgin Islands's Republican Party, will attend the convention as unpledged delegates by virtue of their position.

RULES, POLICES, AND PRINCIPLES OF REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE UNITED STATES VIRGIN ISLANDS, Amended June 1, 2002, Article XIII Sec.1. states "The method of selecting delegates to the Republican National Convention shall be determined by the Territorial Committee."
