	Online NewsHour Vote 2004 \| The Democratic Primaries \| The Primary Versus The Caucus
		From January to June 2004, states across the nation will hold their first round of elections, either a primary or a caucus to nominate delegates who will represent their candidate at the national party convention.
		Although the caucus was the original method for selecting candidates, it is now the least popular, with only 14 states and Washington, D.C., participating in them.
		In a primary, as in a caucus, voters elect delegates who support their candidate choice, but the vote is taken by ballot and the process is similar to a general election.

		In Iowa, caucus-goers elect delegates to county conventions, who, in turn, elect delegates to district and state conventions where national convention delegates are selected.

		For Iowa to change the caucuses to a primary would be a violation of that agreement and trigger a feud with New Hampshire.

		Iowa is an interesting state because its 99 counties are all roughly the same size and shape.
		Published maps of the Iowa caucus results tend to use a county map marked with different colors for each candidate.
		Scaling all 99 counties in a similar way produces the revised county map of Iowa at right, shown at a scale of roughly 4 green pixels per state delegate (the enlarged map is more accurate, at roughly 25 pixels per delegate).

		DES MOINES, Iowa - John Kerry snatched a surprise early victory Monday in the Democratic Party battle to take on President George W. Bush in November, as Iowa voters dealt a stinging blow to longtime favorite Howard Dean.
		A record tally of more than 100,000 Democrats was expected in a state seen as an electoral talisman since political unknown Jimmy Carter pulled off a shock win on the road to the White House in 1976.
		Democratic Party officials say the record registration owes to the large number of contenders and antipathy to Bush's Republican administration.

		Some Democratic analysts are increasingly concerned that these substantial new proposals may threaten the party’s ability to challenge President Bush in next year’s election on what could become a major vulnerability: the federal budget’s sharp deterioration, from record surplus to massive deficits, during his presidency.

	Competitive Intelligence: Iowa's 2004 Democratic Caucus Results: Dated Dean, Married Kerry
		Kerry and Edwards came out of nowhere in the last couple of weeks or so, to eclipse former frontrunner Howard Dean in last night's Democratic Caucus in Iowa, to take most of the state's 45 delegates to the Democratic National Convention later this year.
		As for the media recaps, the LA Times' Ron Brownstein wonders why Dean got whupped and suggests he hurt himself by going negative while misjudging voters' ongoing anger about the war, most of which had already blown over in the wake of Saddam Hussein’s capture.
		I personally think Dean will still get the nomination in the end, as the "Democratic Establishment" continues to line up behind him - but, the Iowa loss was a major blow to a campaign that said today it's glad not to be the front-runner anymore.

		Iowa's support for a northeasterner and a southerner over a Midwesterner and the one time leading national candidate will mean that come 2008, there will be few serious candidates working the streets of Portsmouth, NH on caucus day in Des Moines.

		In 2002 and 2004, Democrats were the party out of power and by definition should have been the party of change.
		Such a schedule would put a premium on Democrats who fit the "persuader" type, who can win back the voters who in many respects should be voting for their party, but for various reasons did not.
		For senior House Democrats who were around in the days of the Democratic ascendancy, and never really expected to be out in the wilderness for this long, the narrowness of that margin must have had an intoxicating effect.
