Ah, but:
The exact order of the early contests was not specified "but there's a lot of sentiment on the commission to honor the role that Iowa and New Hampshire have played."
I remember as late as the 1980's. "Super Tuesday" referred to a big cluster of LATE primaries dominated by California. The problem isn't who's first, it's a frontloaded process with insufficient vetting. The traditional role of the early states was to sort out the true also-rans from the serious presidential timber, and perhaps to elevate a Jimmy Carter from no-name status. It was up to the LATE states to choose a nominee from the top two or three contenders, in June.
Discussion at MyDD of which states should move up. Also, the Iowa take.
And as an Iowan, I'm really really sorry about inflicting Kerry on the rest of y'all. Not like I didn't try.
