N.H. inches toward December primary

Notice to all national political reporters, campaign operatives and presidential candidates: You may not be home for the holidays.

Until recently, I did not think that any state actually would hold its 2008 primary as early as this December.

But after two days of talking to officials in the early primary states, especially to New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner, I have been forced to change my mind.

“December is a possibility,” Gardner told me Tuesday. “It is not my preference. But it could become my preference.”

ARRRGHHHH! Stop it! This is getting too much!

I understand the reason some of these states with smaller populations and electoral votes want to be “first” with their primaries to try and be important but I am honestly starting to lean more and more to allowing the federal government acting to secure their own interests in this mess and setting a national day for primaries, much like they already have the authority to set the date of the national elections decided by them.
