With
more turnout than many more populous counties,
Boundary County Republicans flocked to the
Bonners Ferry High School Tuesday, March 6, to
take part in the first ever Republican caucus,
and Ron Paul proved the overwhelming candidate
of choice.Despite the local results, Mitt Romney took state polling, garnering 24.72 percent of the ballot, and as many state delegates, followed by Rick Santorum with 4.1 and Paul with 3.16.
Boundary County was one of six Idaho counties to go for the Texas Senator and doctor, giving 53.9 percent of its 358 votes to Ron Paul. Santorum took 64 votes, Romney came in third locally with 64 votes.
Apparently "ya'll" don't like "cheesy grits."
No local votes went to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich or to Buddy Roemer.
Other Idaho counties going for Dr. Paul were Bonner, Camas, Idaho, Latah and Nez Perce.
