| Seven Primaries Next week

On February 3, Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Carolina all hold democratic primaries.

In those 7 states there are 269 delegates at stake, more than 12 percent of the 2,162 needed for nomination. There were 45 delegates at stake in the Iowa caucuses and only 22 in New Hampshire.

Next Tuesday will offer a number of firsts. It will be the first mult-state contest. Next Tuesday will include the first contest in the South, South Carolina. Arizona and New Mexico will be the first contests in the West.

According the Associated Press:

Democratic leaders hope to see a nominee emerge sometime over the next few weeks under this year's compressed primary schedule. Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe devised the front-loaded calendar to produce an early nominee.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.
