I'm fairly certain my state, New Mexico, isn't bothering with a Democratic primary, and I know that Kansas, where I lived in 1996, didn't hold one that year.

I'm not real certain there's a point, and it costs money to hold a primary. Or a caucus. Whichever. And I'm not sure I'd bother to show up if NM does hold a Democratic primary this year. Yes, I support Obama, and yes I'll be voting for him in November, but what in the world is the point, since he's going to be the nominee. It's not like 1980 when Kennedy challenged sitting the sitting president for the nomination.
