Last weekend was exciting with three caucuses — Michigan, Washington, and Maine — but this weekend won’t be entirely without interest.
Tomorrow, there will be two more caucuses — Nevada and DC — with a total of 40 delegates at stake. Kerry’s a likely choice for Nevada, especially since he’s the only one who’s campaigned there. There haven’t been any polls released recently for either one.
I don’t know what’s going to happen in DC, but I suspect turnout will be ridiculously low. City voters were invited to participate in a non-binding primary just a month ago, which will likely cause some confusion. I don’t imagine a lot of people will be anxious to join in and not one of the candidates has made any effort to campaign there.
Also, if you’re not completely sick of the campaign debates yet, there will be another event in Madison, Wis., on Sunday, televised on MSNBC. It starts at 6:30 Eastern.
This debate may be just a little better than the other ones — the field is down to five candidates, from 10, which means candidates will be able to talk a bit more and answer more questions. I’ll let you know if there are any fireworks.
