On October 5, the Nevada Republican Party announced it will hold its presidential caucuses on January 14, 2012. As a result, the only states that haven’t set their delegate selection dates are Iowa and New Hampshire.
It is possible that the New Hampshire presidential primary will now be moved to January 7, a Saturday. New Hampshire has never before held a presidential primary on a Saturday. If New Hampshire chooses January 7, then Iowa caucuses will probably be January 3. If so, the delegate selection process in 2012 for the Republican Party will have lasted almost seven months. The last process is Utah, on June 26, 2012. Never before in U.S. history will the presidential primary season have lasted so long. In the first half of the 20th century, the presidential primary season typically started in March, and the national conventions were in June. Thanks to Frontloading HQ for this news.

Put ALL the MORON party hack caucuses, primaries and conventions in the history junkpile along with divine right of kings and slavery.
Does it really take a rocket scientist to figure out that they should just hold all the primaries on the same day so no state has an advantage?
Proof that the major parties are MORONS.
Primary season could be over by end of January if one candidate scores 4 victories in a row.

Pretty soon they will move it to yesterday…
Tool, it could be as few as two victories: Iowa and New Hampshire. In 2004, Kerry won Iowa and New Hampshire and he was off to the races. Had Clinton won a narrower majority of the undecided voters in New Hampshire instead of practically all of them, the media hype behind Obama would have become so overwhelming that the race could have ended right there.
