Nevada Democratic Party Email on Primary/Caucus Calendar Leaked

In Nevada, a state Democratic party “email to supporters” that apparently wasn’t public (I’m not sure how many “supporters” the email went out to) leaked details of what may be the new primary calendar:

On Friday, the Nevada Democratic Party sent a “caucus update” e-mail to supporters. “Today, it appears that Nevada’s interests and significance in the nominating process may be best served by holding our precinct caucuses on January 12th, 2008,” the e-mail, which has not been made public, stated.

“As such, our staff will begin making the necessary logistic arrangements that will enable us to easily move our date to January 12th should that be necessary to preserve our position in the calendar.”

Working with Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Nevada Democrats have agreed in principle to a tentative calendar that would put Iowa on Jan. 5, New Hampshire Jan. 8, Nevada on the 12th and South Carolina on Jan. 19, state Democratic insiders and national campaign operatives confirmed. The hypothetical schedule was reported last week by Marc Ambinder on TheAtlantic.com.
