What will happen in Iowa & New hampshire?

Question

if on the day of the primary, the state is hit by a blizzard and a state of emergency is declared. What happens?? Is there a snow date for the primary if it cannot be held as scheduled? or, is it held, no matter what happens??

Answer 1

Obama will stir up the race when he wins in both the caucus and the first primary.

Then your usual racist idiots on the other various tickets will start making up dirt because they can't find any.

Answer 2

I'm sure primaries and caucuses can be rescheduled if natural disasters prevent their taking place. I believe it's the responsibility of the state Democratic and Republican Parties to set, hold, and run primaries and caucuses. I may be wrong, though.

A large block of independent voters in New Hampshire could decide to vote in either party's primary. If they vote in the Democratic primary, then Barack Obama will most likely be the beneficiary. If they vote Republican, then John McCain will probably gain the most votes. The independent vote could give either one a victory.

Which party's primary they participate in depends on what happens in Iowa, though. It will be a tight race on the Republican side between Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, though I believe both will finish strongly and continue campaigning no matter who wins. It almost goes without saying that Rudy Giuliani will fail to do well in either state, as he's banking his whole campaign on the larger states that will vote later on.

The Democratic competition, however, is even more fierce. If Hillary Clinton wins in Iowa, then independents in New Hampshire could decide that it's not worth supporting Obama, and they could flock to McCain making it that much harder for Romney to win there. If Obama or John Edwards win in Iowa, though, then the independents could rush to participate in the Democratic primary, leaving the way open for a Romney victory. If Clinton loses in both, then the next few states leading up to Super Tuesday will become a battleground for the Democrats.

If Romney wins in both Iowa and New Hampshire, then those wins could easily carry him to wins in Michigan, South Carolina, Nevada, and even Florida. At that point, the GOP nomination would return to the two-man contest between Romney and Giuliani. If Romney loses in Iowa but wins New Hampshire, though, then the Republicans will face a similar battleground leading into February, and possibly beyond. And if Romney loses both states, then McCain and Huckabee could find themselves fighting each other for the next month until Super Tuesday, when all four GOP candidates could be locked into a political mortal combat.

What will happen in Iowa and New Hampshire? Things will get interesting.

Answer 3

Generally it is held no matter what. In any event, Hillary will win in the end. If only one delgate shows up that delegates vote decides it. Guess whose delagate(s) will show up no matter what. Bill makes enough from lectures/consulting these days-a million bucks for a one hour speech-that he can afford to hire snow plows, helicopters, or whatever is needed.

Madame President will win in Iowa, and NH, as elsewhere.

Answer 4

Hillary shall outwit Obama in both the primaries. Her Number One position shall remain intact.
It is still a guessing game for Republicans. Better would be some known tough opponent who can match Hillary's candidacy in general elections.

Answer 5

IA will be a close split between Huck, Paul, and Romney on the GOP.

Farm country... Racists and sexists will be torn over voting for either Hillary and Obama. Might help out Edwards.

NH will be Ron Paul all the way.
Obama, Edwards, and Kucinich for the Dems if it isn't rigged.
