blog 3.4

1. Phase one is the four early stages in February which have a paltry number of delegates but an extraordinary impact on the race's overall narrative. Phase two is the briefest but the most consequential.
2. monday february 3- iowa, tuesday february 11- new hampshire, saturday febraury 22- nevada, saturay febrauary 29- south carolina
3. since they have such a small number of delegates, it is impossible for anyone to build up a significcant lead in this phase
4. 3979
5. south, new england, the west, and the mid west 
6. march 10- michigan, washington, missouri, mississippi, idaho, north dakota
march 17- florida, ohio, illinois, arizona
7. the main change is that california moved from an early june primary late in the process, up to super tuesday. 
8. this phase slows down quite a bit and will be almost a three month slog. 
9. iowa and new hampshire staked their claims very quickly and they now narrow down their large and confusing set of options to a few contenders before most of the country votes. 
10. they allot all delegates proportionally, with no winner-take-all contests permitted.
