Rhode Island is one of the most reliably Democratic states in the country. This state was Democrat Al Gore's best performance in the 2000 presidential election, where he won with over 60% of the vote. Gore won all five of the Ocean State's counties and won all but two townships. Ralph Nader, running a high-profile campaign on behalf of the Green Party with Winona LaDuke as his running mate, took 6.12% of the popular vote in the state, making Rhode Island his fourth best showing in the 2000 election after Alaska, Vermont and neighboring Massachusetts.[2][3]
This primary was one of the very few states Senator John McCain won in the 2000 Republican primaries against George W. Bush. He won every single county, town, and city in the state. He also won all of the state's 14 delegates.
