New Hampshire has a state law that requires them to hold their primaries before any other state, and I think Iowa has something similar. So when other states decide to push things up to get in front, they are just fooling themselves. The national parties aren't happy with this, and may disallow delegates from states that moved up. I suppose the best thing we can hope for is that the main parties bankrupt themselves on this election, maybe give a third party a chance in the future.
