49. This is why
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 01:48 PM by Nederland
The DNC decided that it was in the party's best interest to start the contest with the following: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Why are those states so special? Here is why. The states are geographically diverse (Midwest, Northeast, West and South) to get a sense of a candidates appeal across the country. The states are small to give candidates without a lot of cash a chance to compete. Additionally these states have a fair mix of racial and political make-ups. This was not a decision made arbitrarily, it was a well thought out plan designed to satisfy a desired criteria and produce a good candidate for us to run in the fall. It was a good, decent and fair plan.

Then Michigan and Florida fucked it all up.
