Most people know that tomorrow, the last two Democratic presidential primaries are taking place, in Montana and South Dakota. What many people are unaware of is that there are congressional primaries tomorrow too, in the following states:

Alabama
California
Iowa
Montana
New Jersey
New Mexico
South Dakota

Next week, the following states will have their congressional primaries

Maine
North Dakota
Virginia
South Carolina

There are 13 more states to go after that.

Congress is coequal with the Presidency. No single congressional leader has the kind of power the President wields, but collectively, members of Congress have just as much heft - if they choose to use it, rather than engaging in the spineless acquiescence of the years under George W. Bush.

The bottom line is that these congressional primaries are every bit as important as the presidential primaries. Pay attention to them.
