In case you missed it, Governor Patrick today signed a bill moving MA's presidential primary up about a month, to Feb. 5.
As previously noted, the really big news about this is that a bunch of special elections can figure on turnout being about six times higher than they might have been expecting. That'll probably be bad news for some candidates who were hoping to squeak in based on a high turnout in their extended families, but it's generally good news for democracy.
