Oh joy. Iowa Republicans tentatively announced that the conduct of their meetings on January 3 - the same date in 2008, everyone said it was too soon

Now

Nevada will hold its meeting on January 14. The obvious time for the New Hampshire primary to go would be Tuesday, January 10 - if everything is in the air again

The Des Moines Register in Iowa, says:

in Florida last month broke the rules of the Republican Party and set its primary on Jan. 31 Iowa caucus before all, February 06. It's going off a chain reaction of four states voting early in the nation. Primary in South Carolina is now scheduled for January 21 instead of February 28 and Nevada on Wednesday night, the main set of 14 January February instead of 18.

New Hampshire not announce the primary date up - at -. October 17 to prevent other states trying to take a leap forward in the nomination contest, said Secretary of State Bill Gardner

Ewen Macaskill My colleague made the daily news releases from the White House:

Jay Carney questioned Obama's reaction to the decision to Chris Christie and Sarah Palin did not participate in the Republican race. "Not much," said Carney. It was so disdainful, a laugh, that may not have been what he expected Carney.

He explained, saying that, of course, Obama was talking about, but the White House focused on the things he could control, not the things we could not not, as the tsunami in Japan. Basically, the White House would wait for a Republican candidate "and is still a lot of time outdoors."

in employment, Mr. Carney, the figures were "better than expected", but remains low. Obama met with Democratic leaders in Congress this morning to discuss Senate vote expected in their jobs bill next Tuesday. Carney said he expected that most Democrats supporting it and said he was surprised that the Republicans years. Without the support of Republicans in the House, the bill is going nowhere.

Carney said at the beginning he was willing to get more information as soon as possible and go into the sunlight, and the hacks seemed to agree. Hence the bad information.

Pew polls are among the best in the business, and this latest report on the Republican race is no exception

Pew poll of Republicans nationwide found that only 66% of Republicans and Republican supporters could name any candidate in any field operation in 2012. Of those who did, the name of Mitt Romney 36% and Rick Perry, while the best was Michele Bachmann, with 18%. Herman Cain has found that only 15%.

Trivia

: only 2% the name of Sarah Palin as a candidate in their investigation before the official announcement that he was not running. This suggests that the Republicans even had told him long ago.

What confirms that many people - even the Republicans -. They have not taken a particular interest in the primaries, it is not unusual at this stage


It was for some a "nuclear option" by establishing a precedent that allows a future Republican majority to do the same.

Here is a simple explanation for America:
