State Primaries - For Whom the Bellwether Tolls
Have you noticed that every state this election cycle is a "bellwether" of some type of group?
- Iowa - Bellwether for evangelicals voters (GOP), bellwether for the young voters (Democratic).
- New Hampshire - Bellwether for the Independent voters.
- Nevada - Bellwether for the union workers (Democratic), bellwether for the Mormons (GOP).
- Michigan - Bellwether for economics policy.
- South Carolina - Bellwether for African-American voters.
Now, it appears that Florida will be the bellwether for Latino voters.
Considering Oregon is historically ignored in national elections, it'll be interesting to see what kind of bellwether our votes will portend.
