| Description | Democrats Mull Primary Roles of Iowa, New Hampshire
The Honolulu Advertiser
Iowa and New Hampshire, combined, have 4.2 million people - just 1.5 percent of the U.S. population. Yet Democratic presidential candidates spent months and millions of dollars in those two states before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary in 2004, the first events in the long march to the party nomination.
Does it make sense to spend so much time and money to reach such a small fraction of the electorate? Should other states get a chance to hold the first contests in an election cycle? A Democratic commission is examining those questions and other aspects of the primary calendar this weekend in Washington. |
