2008 Presidential Primary Calendar

[helderheid]

In case anyone needs it:

Jan 1 2008
For the first time since 1928, in 2008 neither a sitting President nor Vice President will be a candidate for nomination to the Presidency. Both parties have open races, and the early announcements of contention are testimony to this. In addition, the states have joined the chorus and, as a result, Super Tuesday could move from March to February.

5. Are Michigan and Florida going to matter to the Dems?

since their delegates aren't going to be seated and most of the Dems are not listed on the ballot in MI?

not voting for HRC can vote uncommitted. It still remains to be seen whether their delegates will go to the convention.
