Florida Democratic Primary

Republican Primary (Jan. 29)

The Democratic National Committee has stripped Florida of all its delegates to the 2008 national party convention as punishment for scheduling an early presidential primary in violation of party rules. The Florida Democratic primary, therefore, will have no immediate effect on the race for the nomination. Democratic candidates did not campaign heavily in the state.
