Florida Bill to Move up Presidential Primary

A move by Florida Governor Charlie Crist has set a new precedence for the upcoming elections of 2008. A new bill passed by him has moved Florida Primaries to Janaury instead of its usual March date. Florida has the largest population compared to any early voting states. What this means is that if candidate cannot compete in early Florida, they really cant compete for president. Most candidates will need to spend quite a bit of money into the campaign in Florida

How will this affect the election, it shouldn't have too big of an outcome. Most of the candidates are all well funded and should be able to pull Florida primaries without a problem. The big thing I will be watching for is which candidate comes out on top. Florida primaries can be an early warning sign to seriously see who may be out next president.
