CT to join the rush....
Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, and several lawmakers, are making the argument to move Connecticut's primary from March to Feb. 5 - a national trend these days that is shaping up to be a "national primary" on that date.
By latest counts, if every state looking to move their primary to the Feb. 5 date does in fact do that, more than half the delegates to the Republican and Democratic conventions would be chosen on that date - pretty much deciding who the nominees for both parties would be. Those states scheduled for primaries after Feb. 5 would virtually have little - if none at all - voice in the selection process.
What do you think?

I agree...and by the way, nice job you're doing on the local Waterford page.
That might sound like a good idea but I doubt it squares with the Constitution.
The states decide the time and manner of voting.
