It appears that the Colorado Democrats who control the legislature want Colorado to move its caucuses up to early February in the hope that they can impact Presidential candidate selection. The Denver Post article contains the following quote which makes a lot of sense:
Dick Wadhams, a political strategist who is running to be state GOP chair starting in March, said he didn't object to an earlier caucus but wasn't sure it was going to make much of a difference. History indicates that candidates get the most momentum and media coverage from the first few contests.
"I don't think it changes the fact that Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina really determine the races," Wadhams said.
It would be nice if the Democrats had thought the Republicans might want input into this decision. I guess we are a one party state, now.
