Caucus Date Leapfrog: Michigan Making Moves

Caucus Date Leapfrog: Michigan Making Moves

As widely predicted, Michigan is rapidly reacting to Florida moving its primary to January 29 in violation of DNC rules. The Detroit News:
Michigan Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer said Tuesday that his party would advance its caucuses in response to Monday's decision by Florida Democrats to break national party rules and hold a Jan. 29 primary. And if New Hampshire makes good on its threat to vote before Jan. 22, Michigan will move to a date on or before New Hampshire's -- even in December.

The bottom line: Michigan Democrats will at least match any state that breaks party rules allowing just four states to vote on a nominee before Feb. 5.
