Leave a reply

The South Carolina Presidential primary is set for January 21, 2012. Last week, officials moved the Florida Primary to January 31, 2012. Ah, the best laid plans…

South Carolina GOP Chairman Chad Connelly released the following statement:

“Last Friday, a nine-person committee brought chaos to the 2012 calendar….Today, South Carolina is making things right. South Carolina Republicans have a thirty year track record of picking the eventual Republican Presidential nominee. We will continue that historic tradition on January 21, 2012.”

Iowa and New Hampshire will join this game soon.

Before you know it, you’ll be voting on Christmas Eve.

Happy Holidays!

The Republican Party of Florida released this statement from Chairman Lenny Curry:

“Today, under the authority provided them by Florida statute and their selection by Governor Scott, Speaker Cannon and Senate President Haridopolos, the nine members of the Presidential Preference Primary Date Selection Committee chose January 31st as our state’s date. As I have said before, the Republican Party of Florida was always prepared to work with the date selected by those with the legal authority to do so. We appreciate that the Committee engaged in a thorough process. That process included discussion of a range of dates from January 3rd to March 6th or later, so this compromise of January 31st properly reflects the importance Florida will play on the national stage. We look forward to having a great primary, and then hosting a world-class convention for our party’s nominee. Florida will be the most important state in our efforts to defeat Barack Obama.”
