The stranglehold that Iowa and New Hampshire have long maintained on the Democratic nominating process will slacken in 2008. Late to recognize the danger in allowing two of the whitest states in the nation to play kingmaker for a party that lives and dies by motivating an increasingly diverse constituency, the party has moved to add Nevada and South Carolina to the first contests on the primary calendar.
Unlike New Hampshire (95% white) and Iowa (93% white), minorities make up roughly 35% in both Nevada and South Carolina.

Sure, why not? Could not do any worse a job then the Democrats have been doing since 1960.
BUUUUUUUUUUT,the dems make sure theat both states are still predominently white...They are not going to let a bunch of blacks and hispanics pick their candidate!!!!!Hey Dems,you want diversity????Why not pick arizona and alabama?????Now these have minorties....Why not a state that has at least 50% minority?????
Um.....the winner of the Iowa/New Hampshire primaries are seldomly selected as Presidential candidates.
You ever notice how libs tell us that we're not supposed to see skin color and then spend all their time looking at it?
I was just venting..Can wash d.c. vote????Its 80% black...
You're so 1970's. Real liberals go to Venezuela. I'm awaiting the announcement that the DNC will hold their 2008 convention there.
:-) Come on Babe! Get in the spirit. Why you so grim?
If we cannot laugh at Liberal who WILL we be able to laugh at?
They should hold the first Democrat primary in Mississippi. That would be interesting, to say the least.
I am NOT '70s! I am fashionalby Retro! I mean, if the Democrats Leadership 2006 Election year slogan is going to be "Back to the '60s," (on second thought given their recent retoric that could be the 1860s they were speaking about) I don't see why WE cannot get in the spirit of the thing?

Why don't they ask some of the minorities on Howard Dean's former campaign staff what they should do?
The racist party hard at work to maintain tranquility on the plantation.
New Hampshire (95% white) and Iowa (93% white),
Do I live in the wrong state, or what?
Move over, Lewis Black! I can't wait for the democrat primaries! I can't wait to watch that pack of total losers snapping at each other to be the king "rat." Unless I've missed someone, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the running who is worth even two cents or two seconds of serious consideration. Hopefully, we will all hear more from Dean and Kerry and Clinton and Gore. lol And then there will be those sly, under the radar rats like Obama, who will walk softly and carry a soft stick. lol Gosh! This will be better than the TV sweeps! lol
Whitey was unavailable for comment.
So they need to add Republican states to get some "ethnic diversity."
That is what I was thinking, like these primaries actually mean anything. By the time the actual election takes place, the names from these primaries are dusty footnotes.
