Mini-tuesdayMini-Tuesday is the name given to the first day on which multiple states hold U.S. presidential primary elections. Mini-Tuesday is new to the 2004 Presidential election and came about when several states which formerly held their primaries on Super Tuesday pushed the dates up to February 3. Mini-Tuesday is also called Super Tuesday I (with the March Super Tuesday called Super Tuesday II, in reference to their respective chronological order). In 2004, U.S. presidential primary elections occurred in Missouri, South Carolina, Arizona, Oklahoma and Delaware. Presidential caucuses were held in New Mexico and North Dakota. The Republican primaries and caucuses were virtually uncontested as incumbent President George W. Bush faced no substantial opposition. The Democratic primaries and caucuses were contested between retired General Wesley Clark of Arkansas, former Governor Howard Dean of Vermont, Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, and the Reverend Al Sharpton of New York. 2004 Results Missouri Kerry handily won the biggest prize of the day by securing 51% of the vote in Missouri. Edwards placed second with 25%. All other candidates were in the single digits.
