      This is why I argued back in February that the first Democratic primary should be in Connecticut: it's a blue state, but it's an almost perfect match for the country as a whole in terms of demographics, variety of regions, voter tendencies, etc.https://twitter.com/DrewSav/status/1341115507269902344 …

      Joe Biden outran Obama by about 3% in Connecticut but fared worse in just about every major city in the state. Biden struggled to recapture Dem support in the blue collar towns between Hartford and New Haven but found increased support in the wealthy upscale southwest. pic.twitter.com/wLmp9x1Xji

      Why not just hold the first primary on Wall Street?

      ??? Connecticut's demographics almost perfectly match the US'. Even Fairfield County includes Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Danbury.

      But as chart shows, Dem support in state is trending to the rich. And as the 6th wealthiest state, that'll skew even more to rich if primaries are held there.

          This is silly. The first two Dem primary contests are in Iowa and NH, very white states. The third is in Nevada, which is sui generis because it’s so dominated by one city, one industry. The 4th is in a deep-red state.

          The idea that CT, which is demographically similar to the US as a whole and which has a Democratic Party 35-40% of which is nonwhite, would not be superior to any of those 4 states is absurd.
