hey, what about super tuesday? or rather super duper tuesday Feb 5, 2008? Seems like states that felt marginalized in the presidential elector process are moving their primaries to the early Feb 5 date. Reasons? Concern about having 2 early events, with unrepresentative diversity (e.g. 95% white), have such a large influence on who goes forward. So, with a much larger (126m) voter base early, the campaign strategies must be different. Media buys in California (expensive), vs. 1:1 time in smaller venues. My prediction? The early Iowa & New Hampshire events will be marginalized, BUT, the surprise will be when no clear winner emmerges. Then states with LATER primaries will actually carry more sway. Hmmm.. What do you think?
