Florida may hold early primary election

The World

Presidential candidates put a lot of effort into  strategizing  their election campaigns, and timing is an important part of that. Republican candidates could find their carefully arranged schedules completely flipped tomorrow, if Florida decides to move its primary election  to January 31 – a month earlier than party leaders expected. This could result in other states changing the dates of their primaries, including the traditional early states: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. Chad Connelly, South Carolina GOP chairman, and Terry Holt, Republican political strategist, react to the proposed change.
