Hopefully they move back to March 6th.  I like seeing my state a major player in Super Tuesday.

If Newt is running won't everyone else just concede the state to him?

I know this is a larger issue But why does everyone feel like they have to vote on a Tuesday. Couldn't Florida, or any state, hold their vote on Thursday March 1 and avoid any penalty?

Nope.  Because:

-If any other state holds primaries/caucuses before the first Tuesday of March, they lose half their delegates.

The penalty is for going before the first Tuesday of March, not March 1st.


Okay. Thanks for explaining that.
