The Des Moines Register writes today that the Republicans will move their caucus in Iowa to January 3, and many believe the Democrats will follow suit (though they have not said so explicitly). The article also quotes New Hampshire's Secretary of State as saying that the New Hampshire Primary will be held no later than January 8, though he has yet to set the revised date.
If these statements hold, then we are now just 80 days away from the first votes to be cast in the 2008 Presidential Election season. Will there be more leapfrogging to come? According to the same article, South Carolina Republicans said in August that they plan to move their primary up ten days to January 19 (but they have yet to do so formally and must decide by next week). Stay tuned...

All this and I still don't know who I'm going to support in the Democratic primary currently scheduled in CA for Feb 5.
According to the Manchest Union-Leader, NH Sec'y of State Gardner is contemplating a move to 12/11 for the NH primary.
I've all but picked my candidate for the Iowa Caucus. I'll reveal my choice soon.
Is this an Iowa way of saying you're taking a date to the caucus? Do you need a corsage?
