Does moving up Minnesota’s precinct caucuses matter?
AP says Minnesota Republicans will move up the precinct caucuses a month earlier next year. They will now hold the caucus on Feb. 5th ("Super-Duper Tuesday"). The story also says the DFL Party is also poised to move the caucuses up. It now means at least 18 states will have their presidential primaries or caucuses on Feb 5th! Those states include California, New York and Illinois.
So here's a question for ya: Does the move give Minnesota more political influence or will the state get lost in the shuffle? Discuss.
