Tomorrow, South Carolina and New Hampshire will join in announcing that both states are moving up their presidential primary dates earlier into January. This move will most likely force Iowa to move the date of the Iowa Caucus for the 2008 presidential race from January 14th, 2008 to some day before Christmas 2007. Iowa has always been protective and proud of being the first-in-the-nation state to hold a nominating contest.
While moving the Iowa caucus up a month may not change much, it will still have an impact. Moving to Demember means the caucus is now only 4 months away so campaigning will increase there. Also, on the Democratic side, it is a 3 way tie in Iowa between Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. You know...moving up the caucus is kind of exciting.
