Reply #14: As a Pennsylvania party official, I respectfully disagree.

In fact, I'm trying hard to get ON the panel about moving the date up.

This is about Presidential Primaries, when our votes counts for NOTHING in April - so why not January, when it will at least count for SOMETHING?

And your attacks about Dean are distasteful, considering Kerry's own dismal failure as a candidate - perhaps Pennsylvania's better balanced representation of the U.S. population - from two large cities on each end with a broad rural middle with agriculture, mountainous regions and forests would have driven a different candidate than the elite caucuses of Iowa or the hidey-hole lack of diversity that is New Hampshire.
