Because they called dibs.

The real question is why both parties let them do so with impunity while punishing other states that try to move up their primaries.
For the record, the GOP did punish NH for holding its 2012 primary in January instead of February (cut its delegates in half); Iowa was unaffected because national delegates are officially awarded at the state convention rather than on caucus night.
