Well, it appears that Michigan will move up its primary to January 15.
That pushes New Hampshire to January 8, and Iowa likely to 2007. This is out of hand.
This is an artifact of the movement, which really got rolling in 1988, to create "super Tuesdays". The original purpose was to nominate a Southerner (remember Good Ole Boy Michael "Scooter" Dukakkis nominated in 1988?), but it has served to render any primary outside of the first month following Iowa irrelevant.
