Rhode Island and Vermont: Secondary Primaries?

You've probably heard that Ohio and Texas hold their presidential nominating contests a week from today. Much less attention has been paid to two other states that will also be voting on March 4: Vermont and Rhode Island.

Candace Page is a senior reporter at the Burlington Free Press in Vermont. And Scott Mackay is a political reporter for The Providence Journal.
