Didn’t the committee that did the dirty deed explain any reasoning for this?
I believe the reason that FL gave for moving its primary up was that it is unfair for a small state with demographics that don’t match the country at large to have so much influence on public perception. FL sees itself as “more important” or “more relevant” (than IA, NH, SC, and NV) and aims to assert its self-importance in the public arena.
Still I want one of these conspiracy believers to explain how Romney got them to go along with this scheme.
Iowa is not happy. This means they get to start over looking for caucus sites and get to work on this through the holidays. Who wants to go to a caucus on Jan. 2 when there are bowl games?
