A History Behind The Early Primary Voting States

About this episode

With just a week to go before the Iowa Caucuses and 15 days before the New Hampshire primaries, Ben gives historical background about the importance of the early states in shaping the outcome of the presidential race. He draws on primary history from Ronald Reagan's showdowns with his eventual Vice President, George H.W. Bush, as well as the battles between Bush, Dole, and various other Republican also-rans.  Plus, Ben shares an anecdote from the infamous and consequential Republican fixer, Lee Atwater.
