They get one more chance.

If the southern states rebellion to move their GOP primaries to early March fails, you can expect more of the same -- the preferred establishment candidate will have the states stacked against any conservative candidates.

It would see that some of the states are tired of having RNC scheduled primaries too late in the spring to have any impact on the nomination. That has been true of my state in both 2008 and 2012.

Dixie rising How the Deep South is trying to game the GOP primary.

12/23/2014 10:44:44 AM PST · by Mozilla · 28 replies Politico ^ | December 22, 2014 | James Hohmann The Deep South has elected Republicans to every top office in the region. Now it wants to be sure that clout extends to the choice of the GOP’s 2016 presidential nominee. Officials in five Southern states — Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas — are coordinating to hold their primary on March 1, 2016. Texas and Florida are considering also holding a primary the same day but may wait until later in the month. Either way, March 1 would be a Southern Super Tuesday, voting en masse on the heels of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

Earlier primaries in the southern states could shake up things.

Florida, Texas and Virginia went for Romney in the 2012 primaries. Stacking up primaries on a single day favors establishment candidates with huge budgets for television.
