2008 - A Year To Avoid
Category: Ho Hum
The presidential primaries continue to move to earlier and earlier slots in 2008.
Alaska, Georgia move up presidential primary contests to Feb. 5
Georgia and Alaska joined the growing list of states pushing up their presidential primary voting to Feb. 5, a date clearly shaping up as a national primary day for Republicans and Democrats.Fifteen states, led by delegate-rich New York, California and New Jersey, have moved their primary voting to Feb. 5 and at least five states, including Illinois and Texas, are close to making a similar shift.
Iowa opens the presidential nomination process with its caucuses on Jan. 14. Nevada Democrats hold their caucus on Jan. 19. New Hampshire has not scheduled its primary yet; in the past, it's been a week after the Iowa caucus.
Last week, Florida joined South Carolina Democrats with plans for a primary on Jan. 29.
My expectation is that America will be blessed/cursed with the start of a full-on presidential campaign between the obvious Republican and Democratic nominees by midnight on February 5, 2008. Can we survive a nine month campaign? Gentlemen, start your swift boats!
