Hillary Clinton Campaign Memo Talks Up Strength In March Primaries


By Scott Bland, Feb 09, 2016 Politico

After splitting the first two contests, an outcome we’ve long anticipated, attention will inevitably focus on the next two of the “early four” states: Nevada and South Carolina. We’ve built first-rate organizations in each state and we feel very good about our prospects for success.

But at the same time as we are competing aggressively in Nevada and South Carolina, it’s important to understand why the campaign is investing so much time, energy and resources in states with primaries and caucuses in March. The reason is simple: while important, the first four states represent just 4% of the delegates needed to secure the nomination; the 28 states that vote (or caucus) in March will award 56% of the delegates needed to win. And whereas the electorates in Iowa and New Hampshire are largely rural/suburban and predominantly white, the March states better reflect the true diversity of the Democratic Party and the nation – including large populations of voters who live in big cities and small towns, and voters with a much broader range of races and religions. The nomination will very likely be won in March, not February, and we believe that Hillary Clinton is well positioned to build a strong – potentially insurmountable – delegate lead next month.
