File:Super Duper Tuesday.png
Currently 21 states are scheduled to hold caucuses or primary elections on Super Duper Tuesday. Blue denotes Democrat-only caucuses (2), and Purple represents states holding elections for both parties (18).

Super Duper Tuesday (also variously called Giga Tuesday and Tsunami Tuesday) is the date in February on which the largest number of multi-state primary elections are scheduled to be held during the U.S. presidential election cycle.[1] The name Super Duper Tuesday is a reference to Super Tuesday, which until the 2008 election cycle was the date with the largest number of primary elections.[2] The immediate predecessor of Super Duper Tuesday was the 2004 election cycle's Mini-Tuesday, so named because seven states held their elections on this date. For 2008, 5 February is the date for Super Duper Tuesday.

As of September 2007, there are 20 states scheduled to hold caucus or primary elections for one or both parties.[3] The large number of states holding early elections could compress the nomination campaign season down to just a few weeks long.[2] As a comparison, in the 2000 election cycle, by early February only about 2% of nominating convention delegates had been selected. However 2008 will see over over 40% of the delegates chosen by early February.[4] In an attempt to keep states from moving their primary or caucus elections even earlier, the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee have established penalties for states holding elections earlier than 5 February 2008.[4]

History

As of February 2007, eight states were scheduled to hold primary or caucus elections on Super Tuesday, 5 February 2008: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Missouri, New Mexico Democrats, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah and West Virginia Republicans.[2][5] However to increase their importance in the candidate selection process, several states have shifted up their contests, a move described by some critics as being "pure self-interest."[1] The following states have changed their elections to February 5, a date eventually re-christened Super Duper Tuesday: Alaska,[6] Arizona, [7] California, [5] Colorado, [7] Connecticut, [8] Georgia, [6] Idaho Democrats,[9] Illinois, [10] Minnesota,[11] New Jersey,[12] New York, [13] and Tennessee [14].

Additional states with bills before their state legislatures proposing to move their election dates to Super Duper Tuesday include Kansas,[15] Michigan,[15] and Oregon.[15]

On Sunday June 3, 2007, the name Tsunami Tuesday—conveying the potential of Super Duper Tuesday to completely change the campaign—was mentioned on Meet the Press during a round-table discussion with presidential campaign strategists James Carville, Bob Shrum, Mary Matalin, and Mike Murphy.

Support

Advocates for earlier elections point out that voters could have fewer candidates to select from with a later contest, because candidates who do not fare well in the early primaries and caucuses often drop out. Likewise, presidential campaigns spend "big bucks" on advertising, hotel rooms, and campaign staff, which can be an economic boon to states holding earlier elections.[7]

Criticisms

Critics of the earlier polling date claim it will compress the primary campaign cycle down to a three week national campaign where only financially well-off candidates can compete. CNN political pundit Bill Schneider states:

Those states may move up on the calendar because they want a cut of the action. They want less attention paid to small states like Iowa and New Hampshire and more attention paid to big, diverse states like Florida and California. To run in those big states, you need big money and national name recognition. Obscure contenders need not apply.[2]

Others indicate it will ultimately leave voters out of the process. In a BBC News interview, William F. Galvin, the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth said:

The people who are being left out of this are the voters, especially those who aren't active in party affairs ... There won't be enough time for voters to focus on these candidates.[1]

Regardless of the number of states moving their election dates earlier and earlier, New Hampshire vigorously maintains its 'first in the nation' primary status. By New Hampshire state law, the secretary of state has sole discretion to set the date of the primary. Bill Gardner, the Secretary of State of New Hampshire for the past 31 years has not ruled out any dates for the primary election, and even intimates that "it could be this year [2007]."[1]
