Daily PUMA Column - Commentary by Alessandro Machi

Saturday, February 29, 2020

Joe Biden's slingshot affect from his South Carolina Primary performance may be somewhat muted because of early voting for Super Tuesday.

In 2008 Hillary Clinton was "punished" when Florida and Michigan delegates were not awarded to her before Barack Obama was able to gain his first lead when Illinois went for him by a 2 to 1 margin in early February.

Ironically, South Carolina's turn to change momentum for Joe Biden may be muted because some Super Tuesday States are allowing early primary voting, aka 2020 Super Tuesday before South Carolina's voting ending. 

California early voters presumably thought that Sanders was running away with it yet after South Carolina Biden may have more total votes than Sanders does! 

So apparently it was ok to punish Hillary Clinton in 2008 while the Democrat Party has basically bless the same type of early voting strategy in 2020.

However, Biden may still be able to claw his way back by doing better in the Democrat Primaries while Bernie Sanders does better in the Caucuses.

This quote just in from the New York Times, over half a day after this DailyPUMA article was written...

"It does not help that early voting has already been underway in many states against the backdrop of Mr. Biden’s bleak finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire". https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/us/politics/joe-biden-super-tuesday.html
