Winning primaries in states where Democrats are unlikely to win an election has been a tried and tested strategy for candidates, including Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton.
Recent polls of the Democratic Presidential Primary have shown a race in flux, with Senator Elizabeth Warren briefly seizing the frontrunner status from former Vice President Joe Biden. Warren showed particular strength in the first two states to cast ballots, Iowa and New Hampshire. But Biden is counting on the third, South Carolina, as a firewall against a Warren or Sanders surge.
Biden's nomination race may be predicated on such an anomaly—racking up victories in states that the nominee has practically zero chance of giving the Democrats an electoral vote in come November. This may sound like a desperate play, but it is actually a tried and true strategy that traces back to the first modern popular nomination fight in 1912 and was relied upon by both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in their successful nomination battles.
Taft fell back on a Southern base, mainly officials he appointed to jobs in the area, to even the odds. The South didn't hold primaries—not much of a surprise as there were few Republicans in the area at the time. In fact, none of the 11 former Confederate states would vote for a Republican from the end of Reconstruction till 1920. But the delegates counted just the same—and with the notable exception of North Carolina, Taft had those votes sewn up.
