"Which primaries/states did Jesse Jackson win in the 1988 election?
There are conflicting accounts of this on the Web, but several major media outlets report that Rev. Jackson won 5 primaries and caucuses in 1984, and 13 such contests in 1988.
In 1988, he won primaries in Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama on Super Tuesday; contests in Delaware, Vermont, Alaska, DC, Puerto Rico, Michigan and South Carolina; as well as a caucus in Texas (even though he lost the primary and Dukakis ultimately took more delegates). I suppose the "11" figure could come if you kick out the Puerto Rico (territory) and Texas results. FYI, one Web site cited a Congressional Quarterly book with all presidential primary results."
