Question: What year did voters of the state, where the candidate who won the 2004 South Carolina democratic primary was a senator, once again vote for a Democrat?

the interregional primary plan is a proposed reform to the united states primary calendar supported by representative sandy levin and senator bill nelson, both democrats. the plan would break the country into six regions. from those regions, one subregion - either a single state or a group of smaller states - would vote on each primary date (e.g., all a states,) with the entire country having held its primaries after the sixth set of primaries votes. each state would vote first once every twenty-four years, with the first set of primaries determined by lottery and cycled thereafter. <SEP> In the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, John Kerry defeated several Democratic rivals, including Sen. John Edwards (D-North Carolina. ), former Vermont Governor Howard Dean and retired Army General Wesley Clark. His victory in the Iowa caucuses is widely believed to be the tipping point where Kerry revived his sagging campaign in New Hampshire and the February 3, 2004, primary states like Arizona, South Carolina and New Mexico. Kerry then went on to win landslide victories in Nevada and Wisconsin. Kerry thus won the Democratic nomination to run for President of the United States against incumbent George W. Bush. On July 6, 2004, he announced his selection of John Edwards as his running mate. Democratic strategist Bob Shrum, who was Kerry's 2004 campaign adviser, wrote an article in Time magazine claiming that after the election, Kerry had said that he wished he'd never picked Edwards, and that the two have since stopped speaking to each other. In a subsequent appearance on ABC's This Week, Kerry refused to respond to Shrum's allegation, calling it a "ridiculous waste of time." <SEP> North Carolina's party loyalties have undergone a series of important shifts in the last few years: While the 2010 midterms saw Tar Heel voters elect a bicameral Republican majority legislature for the first time in over a century, North Carolina has also become a Southern swing state in presidential races. In the 1990s, Democrat Bill Clinton came within a point of winning the state in 1992 and also only narrowly lost the state in 1996. Since Southern Democrat Jimmy Carter's comfortable victory in the state in 1976, the state had consistently leaned Republican in presidential elections until Democrat Barack Obama narrowly won the state in 2008. In the early 2000s, Republican George W. Bush easily won the state by over 12 points, but by 2008, demographic shifts, population growth, and increased liberalization in heavily populated areas such as the Research Triangle, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, and Asheville, propelled Barack Obama to victory in North Carolina, the first Democrat to win the state since 1976. In 2012, North Carolina was again considered a competitive swing state, with the Democrats even holding their 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. However, Republican Mitt Romney ultimately eked out a 2-point win in North Carolina, the only 2012 swing state that Obama lost, and one of only two states (along with Indiana) to flip from Obama in 2008 to the GOP in 2012. <SEP> Lieberman dropped out of the campaign the following day. Kerry dominated throughout February and his support quickly snowballed as he won caucuses and primaries, taking in a string of wins in Michigan, Washington, Maine, Tennessee, Washington, D.C., Nevada, Wisconsin, Utah, Hawaii, and Idaho. Clark and Dean dropped out during this time, leaving Edwards as the only real threat to Kerry. The following week, John Edwards won the South Carolina primary and finished a strong second in Oklahoma to Clark. Kucinich and Sharpton continued to run despite poor results at the polls. <SEP> rocco m. clarizio (december 17, 1916 – august 24, 1990) was an american republican party politician from newark, new jersey. he ran for the u.s. house of representatives in 1964 and for the new jersey state senate in 1977, but lost both times in the republican primary. in 1964, clarizio became a candidate for congress in new jersey’s 10th district, seeking to challenge democratic incumbent peter w. rodino. in a historic primary where he was the only white candidate, clarizio finished third behind two black republicans, william l. stubbs and dr. harold r. scott. stubbs, who became the first black to win a major party nomination for congressman from new jersey, won 5,148 (63%) to 2,217 (26%) for scott, with clarizio finishing third with 892 votes (11%). in 1977, clarizo sought the republican nomination for state senator in the 28th legislative district, where democratic incumbent martin l. greenberg was seeking re-election to a second term. the gop primary included three candidates, each aligned with a different candidate for the republican nomination for governor: rev. james a. pindar ran on a line with assembly minority leader thomas kean; joan lacey mazauskas ran with state sen. raymond bateman, and clarizio was allied with former senate minority leader c. robert sarcone. pindar defeated mazauskas by just 207 votes, 1,482 (42.04%) to 1,275 (36.17%), while clarizio ran a distant third with 768 votes (21.79%).
