CAMPAIGN ’88 : Michigan Results Due
The confusion over the Michigan GOP caucus results continues, with nearly all of the delegates elected last week being challenged by one candidate or another.
State GOP spokesman Rusty Hills said Tuesday that party officials still were sorting out the barrage of challenges and planned to release the exact figures today.
Supporters of Vice President George Bush and a coalition of Pat Robertson and Jack Kemp backers have been locked in a bitter rules dispute over the selection of Michigan’s 77 presidential delegates. Some 1,800 delegates were supposed to have been chosen at Thursday night’s county conventions to attend the Jan. 29-30 state convention, but walkouts by disgruntled factions left the muddled Michigan GOP process even more murky.
With the walkouts and separate meetings conducted, some 2,700 delegates actually will be headed to the state convention in Grand Rapids, where the 77 national delegates will be chosen.
