While Colorado's caucuses are early Nevada'a aren't long after Washington's and Alaska's follow in short order.

Obama built his chances up be sweeping the early caucus states, so attention to these is important.

It's going to be very stomach churning to go with the caucus format for me.

Here's a prelim calendar: http://frontloading.blogspot.com/p/2016-presidential-primary-calendar.html

(Note: NY is not going to be happening in Feb, while the current legality of it is Feb, it will likely be fixed to be moved into April.)

But I see why candidates are going to Colorado so early, it can go either way.

Colorado is what I consider an amalgamation of US demographics and ideological views, so it may well be an early state. FHQ points out that Colorado can chose to be an early caucus state if it wants, and if candidates keep going there, then Colorado might do it.

Maybe even 1992. I voted for Jerry Brown in that one. Since then, Colorado has had caucuses, most not well-attended, except for 2008, when everyone seemed to be engaged. I am certain that with the excitement surrounding Bernie Sanders, the Colorado caucuses will be rip-roaring affairs.

But Denvers a long way and their traffic scares the crap out of me.

From SW SD and one stop light town.

If you want to be really scared, come on out to Los Angeles!

That being said, Bernie's Denver event should be just about "sold out."
His site shows 2,742 persons have RSVP'd. UPDATE: Now 2,834...count goes up again, 3,060.

And I agree about getting quickly out West...a couple stops in California (a north and south) would set the state on fire.

I'm thrilled at the numbers he's pulling in. I'm counting on him being president.

I went to college in LA in the 60s/70s can't imagine today's traffic there now.
