...for boosting the economy here. Bernie's here today, Trump tomorrow, and Bill Clinton's here Sunday. Everyone's running TV ads too. Only one problem: the majority of Arizonans have already voted early. 61% as of today.

So Rubio has a chance?

There are 75 Democratic delegates in Arizona and 58 Republican delegates. The Republican primary is pure winner-take-all. A poll that came out Tuesday showed Trump with 31%, Cruz 19% and Rubio and Kasich 10% each. It also showed Hillary with 50% and Bernie with 24%. If you note from adding these totals up, that leaves over a quarter of the voters in each primary undecided. Arizona is a closed-primary, meaning only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in the primary.
Utah is also holding caucuses Tuesday, with 40 Republican and 33 Democratic delegates. Utah has proportional Republican voting, but, if one candidate (most likely Cruz) hits 50%, he would get all of Utah's delegates. Idaho is also holding a Democratic caucus Tuesday, with 23 delegates. All of the Democratic contests are proportional.
