The entire calendar may not be finalized until October or November, depending on how long Florida and Georgia wait to decide their dates.

So, Iowa might be sometime between December 27-31 ?

Nice ... Smiley

Awesome. I love the idea of a drawn out primary season. Has Iowa ever held its caucus the year before an election?

I think it would be the first time that any primary or caucus takes place in December.

I'm concerned about precedent. If December is fair game, next time they'll be rushing for November, then October... then where does it end? Inauguration Day of the current term? They'll have to put a stop to it somewhere.

Actually, it has sort of happened before. For example, Florida held a caucus that was the actual first step toward electing delegates in October 1979 (I've even found almost all the county results of that contest too Smiley ). I believe they did it in 1983 as well, but that contest didn't have anywhere near the coverage as in 1979.

A map of the primary/caucus dates so far:



Green = January
Blue = February
Red = Super Tuesday (March 6)
Light Red = March (excl. Super Tuesday)
Yellow = April
Purple = May
Orange = June

What's going on with Missouri?

It has a primary and a caucus.

I though Ohio had already decided March 6.

They've since changed it to June to align with the other statewide primaries and to give them time to pass the map for the new districts.

It's only 9 days after Christmas. He could countdown to that instead.

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

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

They're having both.

The courts might delay the Texas primary again, to possibly as late as June, if there's no compromise on the redistricting boundaries agreed to by today:

A deal was struck to keep the Texas primary on April 3.

I don't know if anyone's noted this yet or not, but the Missouri caucuses actually are taking place from March 15 to March 24, with the majority of the counties voting on March 17. St. Louis County and Jackson County (Kansas City) are both voting on March 24.
