Meanwhile, In The Leapfrog States

While Iowa Democrats gear up after yesterday's long-awaited announcement that Jan. 3 is Caucus Night, the calender-violating states are facing a couple problems.

Ballot Access News reports that Michigan's Jan. 15 primary is under legal challenge from, of all people, journalists. Michigan does not have party registration. Each party gets list of people who voted in its primary, but the public doesn't, and the plaintiffs want the whole primary law declared unconstitutional.

Florida Democrats head to Orlando for their convention this weekend, but the Big Six are nowhere to be seen. Instead, Floridians will get... Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel. The man from Alaska has now been deemed so fringe that he's been uninvited from the next debate.
