The Great Primary Calendar re-shuffle Megathread

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Theoretically, Reince Preibus could use his power to exempt a bunch of early big states like Florida to ensure there is a guarranteed front runner comming out of January into the Super Tuesday whether in Feb or March (likely February at this point). A prime candidate for such treatment would be Florida since its large and early, though that would anger SC considerably as FL would become cemented as the Southern king maker.

Preibus would seem to be someone who wants it over and done with quickly. He doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who failed to oust Obama during his term, and that would be impossible to prevent if this doesn't end till June in California, or even worse, at the Convention in Tampa.

WOO!!! It's official. Colorado moves up to Feb 7, the day after Iowa (for now)  

So this is what a Rocky Mountain High looks like?

More good news for Romney.

More so now then a week ago.


Remember, it is still a caucus and one which Romney risks being overrun by the TP if he is getting trounced by a single person amongst them by like 20 points. It seems less likely that that will occur now with Perry declining. But it is still a ways away and even with all Romney's advantages in the state, he can easily have it taken away  by aggressive TP turnout on caucus day.
