The Great Primary Calendar re-shuffle Megathread

[Likely Voter]

If RNC is serious about starting in February, they would have to threaten to remove all of Florida's delegates and to take the 2012 convention away.

I find it amazing that Florida GOP has been awarded the convention and is yet thumbing their nose at their own party.

question for those who are following this? What is up with Florida? Are they really sticking with late Jan date? And if so, then is NV going to move into Jan (along with IA, NH and SC)?

[Likely Voter]

So has NV indicated they are going to move into Jan to secure position as fourth state? NV is pretty important for Romney. He needs that second win after NH to fend off losses in IA and SC.

If NV does not move, Romney could go into the fourth contest (either FL or a mini-super Tuesday on Feb 7) facing a candidate with two wins (IA and SC), he needs NV to at least make it even (or have him facing two single win candidates).

i agree, FL is throwing a wrench into this whole thing and they are thumbing their noses at the RNC, so why should they also be awarded with the convention.

[Likely Voter]

So it looks like IA will again be in the first week of January, just like 2008. Apparently if the parties really want to fix this thing they have to come up with stiffer penalties. What is amazing is that FL got the GOP convention and yet they are throwing the biggest wrench into the process.

[Likely Voter]

Do IA, NH, NV and SC lose any delegates if they are forced by FL to move from Feb to Jan?

[Likely Voter]

Why is everyone picking on NV and threatening a boycott when it was FL that caused this problem. Plus SC chose to go 10 days before FL, making the problem even worse. If SC went a week before FL, then everyone goes on a Tuesday and everyone gets the same week buffer zone.

but then wouldnt NH jump back into January once IA jumped out?
