The Register Recap

NEVADA MOVES EARLIER. WILL IOWA FOLLOW SUIT?
Jason Clayworth reports:
The latest development came late Wednesday when Nevada Republican Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian said her state’s caucuses would be Jan. 14 instead of Feb. 18.
That would push Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses into December, barring waivers to Republican Party rules and states’ laws. …
“If it does push it back into December, this whole charade that Florida is playing is absolutely indefensible,” Republican National Committee member Steve Scheffler of Iowa said late Wednesday night. …
On the FrontloadingHQ blog, Josh Putnam predicts the dates thusly:
December 26-30 or January 2 or 3: IowaJanuary 3, 7: New Hampshire
January 14: Nevada
