  1. Would it be possible to note which primaries/caucuses require Party registration (i.e. closed) and which allow non-registered Party affiliation(i.e.open) voting?

  2. That’s a great suggestion, I’ll work on getting that updated.

  3. I found a mistake. I think both the North Carolina primaries are on May 6. They are listed separately above, as one being on Super Tuesday. I checked both my county’s website, and this generic one: http://www.usaelectionpol.....olina.html

  4. There were lots of changes to this list since November. I’ve updated my blog Connecticut Bob which is linked above to reflect the latest dates.

  5. Arkansas is missing from Super Tuesday for the Democratic primary.

  6. Thanks for this one and your other posts as well. I’m from Germany but though interested in the 2008 US elections. Keep it going!

  7. CORRECTION: The Maine Republican caucus is Feb. 1st. The Democrats are Feb. 10.

  8. Puerto Rico Republican Caucus is not listed. February 24, 2008.

  9. Massachusetts is on February 5th, not March. Also, as one reader mentioned above, information on Open/Closed would be incredibly helpful.
    Thanks.

  10. Thanks for keeping up the good information. We need more blogs like this in this world, if we ever want to create a conscious about how important is for people to participate in the democratic process. I bookmarked your blog and subscribed.

  11. As we enter the hot politcal season remember those immoral words from JFK:


    Ask not what people in power can do for you…
    Ask what you can do for people in power.

    And don’t forge to laugh a little!

  12. Who would have ever thought that the nomination process would still be going on at this point? When have we ever discussed the Wisconsin primary before?

  13. Tonights debate wasnt much better, alot of mudsinging and what-if questions.

  14. i am lost in these elections. when are we going to vote on who gets electes between hillary and obama? and is that election the final one?
