This looks awfully familiar. It's also awfully childish. No one wants to be last, and that's understandable. Why not just have all the primaries on one day and be over with it?
SOUTH CAROLINA GOP SETS PRIMARY DATE, BASICALLY GUARANTEEING EARLY IOWA AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DATES - Because the state of Florida just HAS TO mess with the electoral process every so often (whenever Mercury is in retrograde, we guess), the South Carolina Republican party today was forced to announce that its Republican primary will be held on January 21st, ten days before Florida's moved-up date of January 31st. This will likely result in an Iowa caucus date shortly after the New Year's Day and a Granite State primary a week or two later. This sets up a potentially nasty confrontation with Nevada's Republican party, whose primary might be squeezed out of its traditional fourth spot by the recent scheduling changes. "We're not happy with them, period," Nevada GOP Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian told Politico. "We have what, 28 delegates? They have 99. So what do they care if they lose some? They didn't have to be bullies about this."
