Iowa GOP Moves Its Caucuses To Jan. 3, New Hamsphire Unsettled

Iowa Republicans have bumped up their party's presidential caucuses to January 3rd, citing the pressure to maintain the state's relevance in an increasingly front-loaded primary election calendar. The state Democrats, however, have yet to follow suit, choosing instead to wait until other early nominating states have settled their schedules.

Meanwhile, New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner is maintaining that the state is "faced with the possibility" of bumping up its primary to December. The Iowa GOP set its caucus date based upon the assumption that the NH primary would be held on January 8th.

First, there's the deposit on the dance hall. You don't wanta loose that.

Second, you get to choose while knowing which jack_hole ya gotta beat.

Third, it makes the Republicans look desparate for press.

Fourth, not moving forward continues to punish the assholes in FL and MI for being . . . well . . . assholes.

Fifth, you're Iowans . . .

Stand strong. Don't move.

Problem is, if they're on different days, there can be a lot of crossing of party lines. You can register for the party going in to the caucus meeting place. Pick your target, and flood some meetings. You want Repugs to be busy while you're caucusing.
