* I’m not going to write about Democrats. If we use the majority of pledged delegates as a criterion, the paint became dry as of South Carolina/Nevada. If one includes superdelegates in the count, Hillary Clinton started above the 50% criterion even before Iowa/New Hampshire and has not dipped below.

4. Primaries end March 15 for DailyKos.

5. And by March 15, primaries will include large purple states
