High Black voters at the expense of Hispanic. Actually I prefer leaving racial discrimination (on the part of these decision-makers) and maintaining the small-restaurant level of viewing candidates that we see in starting with Iowa and New Hampshire.
Small is good - that was the justification for starting in those two states. It also leaves out two regions -- the west and the south. Nevada has the same size delegation is Iowa -- but also offers a western perch and more diversity, which Democrats value.
Debra, you should read This Will Not Pass about Biden and Trump by Jonathan Martin. He really gets into the weeds about Biden picking his running mate and cabinet. One thing is that Clyburn basically handed him the nomination and the presidency and this was payback time -- all the other candidates dropped out. Amy Klobuchar was on his list to be his running mate but she had problems when she was DA in Minneapolis. Apparently she DECLINED to prosecute Derek Chauvin and let him go. If she had done her job at that time, he would have been in jail and George Floyd might still be alive. Politics makes strange bedfellows.

Payback and reward. Parties are going to try to slant the table in their favor.
Yep!!
