The Great Primary Calendar re-shuffle Megathread

[Tender Branson]

For the future, I would favor a system like the one that is used in the Champions League group draw, in which there would be pots for 10 groups of 5 states each. And every week for 10 weeks in a row there would be primaries held in 5 states that were drawn before into this group.

Or eleven weeks/groups, with the overseas territories.

Mr. Morden:

The Northern Marianas Commonwealth Convention on Feb. 25 is missing in your calendar.

Apparently the Louisiana caucus was moved back to April 28. Jindal apparently wants a spot in the Romney administration.

Will their March primary still be held or is it replaced with the April caucus ?

I think this thread can be un-stickied now, with the TX date set.

In about 1 week, starting with Illinois, there are only 10 "blocks" of primary days left and because the media will remind us each day which primaries will take place anyway, I think we don't need the stickied thread anymore.

For those who create their Atlas predictions, there's also the remaining calendar and if you fill out your predictions you know which primaries come up.
