With election year coming up there seems to be some particular shift in the dates of voting for presidential primaries. Following FLorida's move, Alaska and Georgia have moved up thier presidential primaries to February. 15 states have now moved thier dates as well. Pushing it from the original date of March 4-5 to February 4-5.

Why the sudden shift in primary voting? I believe its because people want to give the primary candidates more time to prepare thier campaigns. Secondly, it may also because there are too many candidates taht the people just want 1 to support and back up. It may also be a political tactics used by either side.

Still, its nearly 6-7 months away, its hard to tell what will happen within that time, policies may change as well as opinoins.
