Iowa On January 5?

10 Aug 2007 08:54 pm

Fox News's Carl Cameron has a scoop that jibes with the vibes everyone is sending off:

The first possible deal has emerged to solve the calendar crisis looming over the 2008 nomination process. With South Carolina Republicans already moving their primary to January 19th, Fox News has learned that officials in Iowa and New Hampshire in both parties and both state governments have begun discussing the possibility of Iowa’s caucus occurring Saturday, January 5th, and New Hampshire’s primary occurring Saturday, Jan 12th -- in order to accommodate state laws that require Iowa to go first, and a week long buffer for New Hampshire before any similar election.

So Iowa won't be in December? I guess I should've trusted the Guv.

If so Chris Bowers called it on OpenLeft.com on the 7th. Credit where credit is due.
