Conservative States Vote First

Wall Street Journal: “Exit polls from 2012 nominating contests make the point. The Iowa Republican caucuses drew one of the most conservative voter pools of the year, with 84% of caucus-goers describing themselves as ‘conservative’ or ‘very conservative.'”

“Three of the next four contests on this year’s calendar also drew a larger share of conservative voters than the party’s national average, which stood at 61% conservative in the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. New Hampshire was the lone, more centrist, outlier.”

“March 1, the day that allocates the most delegates of the primary season, includes large list of conservative states, including Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma.”
