Georgia House Passes Plan to Move to Feb. 5
Georgia's House of Representatives acted Tuesday to move the state's 2008 presidential primary to February 5 according to a Wednesday article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The National Conference of State Legislatures identifies April 17 as the last day of the legislative session, so the Senate will undoubtedly move on this proposal before then unless the session is extended. And given 154-11 vote in the House, there appears to be enough support for the measure.

Where We Stand
Below is a look at how the 2008 presidential primary/caucus calendar was as of March 20, 2007 according to the National Association of Secretaries of State. The link to NASS .pdf file of the calendar can be found here. This calendar, while not ideal because of only sporadic updates, is a good baseline for comparison as I begin to build a time line of calendar change for the 2008 cycle.
In tracking changes that have already occurred in the primary calendar, there are a couple of other helpful resources. Both thegreenpapers.com and P2008 offer more detailed approaches to the calendar than does the NASS. All three sites will be in the links area as I continue to add to the blog.
