Maryland’s primary votes will matter after all

January 24, 2008

The AP reports that the race for the presidential nomination is so close in both parties that it is mathematically impossible for any candidate to lock up the nomination by Super Tuesday, Feb. 5. Good news for those of us in Maryland who will cast our ballots on Feb. 12…

“A lot of people were predicting that this presidential election on both sides was going to be this massive sprint that ended on Feb. 5,” said Jenny Backus, a Democratic consultant who is not affiliated with any candidate. Now it’s looking as if the primaries after Super Tuesday — including such big, delegate-rich states as Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania — could grow in importance. “Maybe some states were better off waiting,” said Backus.
