The chairman of the Missouri Republican State Committee, David Cole, announced that the state party will go to a caucus system to choose presidential delegates for the 2012 election.
A caucus will continue to protect the rights of Missourians to select the Republican nominee for president—and any self-declared Republican who is registered to vote in Missouri has the ability to participate in the caucus process.
The last time Missouri Republicans held caucuses was in the 1996 presidential election. John Brunner, now expected to run for the party nomination for US Senate, then served as Pat Buchanan’s state director. Buchanan, who started his writing career at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, won the state caucus, beating Bob Dole 406 votes to 315.
