January 29,2004 Thursday Volume 76, Number 57 Southwestern states may play key role in selecting nominee

Dean shakes up staff By Dave Montgomery KRT Campus

PHOENIX - As the 2004 presidential race turns south and west out of New Hampshire, Southwestern states are Kerry sets to compete coast to coast poised to play unaccustomed early and influential roles in choosing the Democratic nominee. Arizona, Oklahoma and will choose nearly half the convention delegates at stake in the seven states with primaries or caucuses on Tuesday. Together with , the Southwestern states are the first tests of strength in the Sun Belt for front- runner . Barely more than an afterthought in those states just weeks ago, the Massachusetts senator appears to be gaining ground after victories in Iowa and New Hampshire. The Southwestern contests also represent the first significant displays of Hispanic voting power in this year's presidential race. In previous presidential elections, South Carolina tra- ditionally has been the first stop in the South after Iowa and New Hampshire, while Western and Southwestern states were later on the primary calendar. This year, Demo- cratic officials agreed to move the three Southwestern states to Feb. 3 to give the region a greater voice. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who will serve as chairman at the Democratic National Convention in Boston in late July, said the early positioning makes candidates "more attuned to Western and Southwestern issues." The region is concerned with issues such as im- migration, veterans, energy policy, water shortages and the environment. See Southwest, Page 6A
