California Primary to Move
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation yesterday that will move California's primary to February 5th. In addition to California, a number of other states have also been considering moving up their primary dates. The motivation behind Governor Schwarzenegger's move is to give California voters more of a hand in selecting their candidates.
Other states that will be contemplating earlier primaries are New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Florida. Although Iowa and New Hampshire will still hold their primaries in January, it is believed that the smaller states roles will not be diminished. The concentration of primaries within a short amount of time could diminish candidates abilities to visit many of these states for qualitative amounts of time, resulting in a sprint like race through the primary season. Regardless, it will make candidates campaign more and earlier than ever as is already being witnessed now in 2007.
