This Is Really Getting Insane

NBC is reporting that Michigan wants to move its primary up to January 15, which could make New Hampshire and/or Iowa moves their primaries even earlier than that. 40 years ago, it was standard practice to not have the party nominees decided until June or July. With the current system, the candidates will be decided by late February. This is really silly.

Welcome to the era of the perpetual campaign. Let's see how this all affects turnout.

[PS- Democrats had their umpteenth primary debate on Sunday morning. I missed it again. A roundup is available- here. Video highlights are available- here.]
