Phew, Precinct Caucuses Now In Feruary Officially
Posted by Andy on August 29th, 2007
The DFL has moved its Precinct Caucuses to February 5th now too, joining the Republican Party of Minnesota.
The Minnesota DFL Party announced Tuesday that it will hold its precinct caucuses on Feb. 5, 2008, a date that has become known variously as Super Tuesday, Super Duper Tuesday and even Tsunami Tuesday, because of the import it is expected to have on the outcome of the presidential election.
I was a bit worried about the DFL holding their promise to do so, but meh.
This move does little in the larger political world revolving around the POTUS in my mind. What it does do is put more pressure on local Party units to pull off the Caucus meetings a month earlier. In my BPOU we have found some of our usual venues are not so keen on the February night and are dragging their feet with the new night.
But the good news is the Secretary of State mark Ritchie is on board and not going to hold the Parties to State Statutes which calls for Caucuses in March.
