NY Gets Ready To Vote In February

Generally during the primary season I like to sit back and watch the candidates duke it out early in the year out in Iowa or up in New Hampshire. The prospect of voting for my favorite candidate is on the horizon, but I get to see what they are made of when the race starts getting tough and delegates are lined up.

Well forget about it next year. New Yorkers will be voting in the primaries on February 5th for the first time along with a ton of other states. Up to twenty states might join in on this (most likely) cold day less than ten months from now.

The Republicans will still have their winner-take-all system and the Democrats sticking to the more spread out version based on percentages. So expect many candidates other than Giuliani on the right to skip the Empire State. Meanwhile the Dems will see a huge brawl as Hillary tries to defend her home (for the last several years anyways) state.
