Okay, so I'm exagerating a bit....but only a bit.

FOX reports that both New Hampshire (Hi Don C.!) and South Carolina will be moving their primaries up to mid-January of 2008.

So, barring unusual results, the field will be narrowed to 3 apiece by 1 Feb and the nominee decided by mid-Feb. So its b___s to the wall for the next 190 days, and then we get to START the general election.

American Presidential politics will be ALL that matters, with report after report, blog after blog, rant after rant until we are all so numbe that we'll pull the lever for anybody just to be done with it....but its never done.
