South Carolina's Democratic Primary Isn't Going to Be a Good One for Democrats
South Carolina has a law stating that it must be the first primary. The state's Democrats aren't happy, and perhaps GOP Governor Chris Sinunu and the legislature will respond by moving the primary ahead of February 3rd - though maybe the DNC will then kill its primary. In the five contested New Hampshire Democratic primary since 1992, granite staters have voted for the eventual nominee just once, John Kerry in 2004. With neither demographic diversity nor kingmaker prowess, there is a strong case to replace the first in the nation pair. Places like Michigan or Georgia appeal to more factions of the party and, most importantly, would help produce strong general election nominees.
