The California State Senate will probably vote on AB 80 on Wednesday, June 15. This is the bill to move the presidential primary from February to June. UPDATE: the vote has been postponed until Thursday, June 16. The Senate spent June 15 on budget bills instead of ordinary bills. UPDATE: the vote has been postponed again, to June 20, Monday.
February was way too early. This is good news if it passes!
Could make for a lot of fun if there is a close Republican race down the line. Go Bachmann…we need some summer comedy in 2012!!!
February is way too early for a primary. Move it to June! That way, it gives my Ron Paul a chance to redeem himself from the debate. 🙂
Would this help other states who have late primaries? Or would candidates still skip these states. I think Montana and South Dakota also have primaries in June.
IF the party hack robots were rational, then there would be a NATIONAL primary in June in Prez election years.
But, of course, IRRATIONAL NUTCASES in IA, NH, etc. in the DEAD of winter.
P.R. and App.V.
DO ANY OF YOU OLD FOKS OUT THRE REMENBER THE GOOD OLE DAYS OF THE GREAT CALIFORNIA PRIMARY IN JUNE.GOLDWATERV ROCKEFELLER,KENNEDY V MCCARTHY AND MCGOVERN V HHH. THIS COULD PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE 2012 GOP CONTEST.
