KANSAS CITY, MO. -- The Republican National Committee adopted a new schedule for the 2012 presidential primaries Friday, agreeing to a plan worked out in concert with Democrats and designed to delay the start of the campaign season. (Emphasis added)

Party leaders hailed the vote as a historic change in the presidential selection process, one that would avoid the development of a single national primary in which states choose to hold their nominating contests on the same day.

Under the new schedule, no state would hold a primary or caucus before the first Tuesday in February 2012, in attempt to avoid a repetition of 2008, when the Iowa caucuses were held Jan. 3.

If it really does lead to not giving too many delegates early in the primary season, it is a good development. I'd like to see the full schedule...

Unfortunately, the caucuses are still there. They dont serve a good purpose anymore except feed the power-hungry hooligans. Caucuses need to go!!!!
