1. Phase 1 is in February and Phase 2 is in March.
2. Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina
3. The primaries can solidify a frontrunner's position, give an underdog a surge of attention, or drive poorly performing contenders out of the race, and they often effectively settle who the true top two or three candidates are.
4. There are 1344 delegates.
5. California, Texas, the South, New England, the West, and the Midwest and American Samoa.
6. 7 on March 10 and 4 on March 17.
7. California moved from an early June primary late in the process up to Super Tuesday.
8. The third phase is slow-going and will feature either a few small contests or one small- or medium-sized contest.
9. One argument in favor of letting Iowa and New Hampshire go first is that it lets lesser-known candidates make their case in a smaller, more manageable setting.
10. Democrats allot all delegates proportionally, with no winner-take-all contests permitted.
