Eleven days before Michigan’s candidate registration deadline.”
Haven’t heard that before. I thought Utah was the first, on the 15th, then the others starting in at the end of the month?
In or out, I don't care just let us know so we can focus on the race without wishing someone else might jump in.
Our first priority after that should be to destroy Romney, and once that is done, the rest can battle to the death to see which conservative deserves to be the standard bearer.
The Utah 15th deadline is for candidates who are NOT within a political party that has qualified for ballot access in Utah. Qualified political parties have a later deadline.
I don't believe the MI deadline is in October, but so far all I've found is a summary of the MI law.
The election law requires that the secretary of state issue a list of the individuals identified by the national news media to be potential presidential candidates for each political party's nomination. (This is to be done by 4 p.m. of the second Friday in November of the year before the presidential election -- which will be November 11, 2011, Veterans Day.) Senate Bill 584 would amend the law to require that list be made available to the public on an internet website maintained by the Department of State.Senate Bill 584 - 2012 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY ON FEBRUARY 28Then, not later than 4 p.m. of the following Tuesday, the state chairs of each political party for which a presidential primary election will be held must file with the secretary of state a list of individuals that he or she considers to be potential presidential candidates. Senate Bill 584 would require that the secretary of state also make these lists available to the public the internet website.
I read that about Michigan on one occasion.
