    Sabato Highlights✰✰✰ 2 ✰The 2000 Republican ✰✰ ✰Presidential Primary Virginia Finally Matters in Presidential Nominating Politics Overall ☑ The 2000 Republican presidential primary was only the second held in a cen- tury in Virginia (the fi rst being 1988), and it was the fi rst where delegates were actually allocated for the national nominating convention. ☑ Thanks to the strong support of Governor Jim Gilmore and others, Texas Governor George W. Bush won by almost nine percentage points, 52.8 percent to 43.9 percent for Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain. The Virginia victory was a critical step in Bush turning back McCain’s fi erce challenge for the GOP presidential nod. ☑ In part because of Governor Gilmore’s role in the February 29, 2000 primary, President- elect Bush named Gilmore the Republican National Committee chairman aft er the November election. Republican Presidential Primary Election Results ☑ Bush built his Virginia majority in the conservative areas of the state, leaving McCain to garner wins only in moderate Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, where the retired military population appeared to back him. ☑ Though modest in overall size, the Bush majority was broadly based, including 88 of 95 counties and 29 of 39 cities. ☑ Bush was the choice of nearly seven of 10 Republicans, while McCain attracted 87 percent of the Democrats and 64 percent of the Independents voting in Virginia’s “open primary” (open to any registered voter, essentially). Luckily for Bush, the electorate was heavily GOP (63 percent), compared to 29 percent Independent and only eight percent Democratic. Voter Breakdowns ☑ McCain and Bush split male voters about equally, while women tilted heavily to Bush, 57 percent to 41 percent for McCain.
