Republicans Change The Rules On TEA Partiers.... Republicans Change Nominating Process The Republican National Committee moved Friday to consolidate its presidential nominating process in 2016, a pre-emptive effort to avoid a drawn-out campaign that many in the party say could imperil their effort to reclaim the White House. The plan left Iowa and New Hampshire in the traditional roles of first caucus and first primary, followed by South Carolina and Nevada nominating contests, all in February. Other states are allowed to hold their primaries and caucuses starting on March 1. After the first two weeks in March, states can hold winner-take-all elections -- which will deliver large troves of delegates and are intended to yield a prospective nominee early in the process. They want to avoid last cycles mess. That process took so long and the candidates moved so far to the right for the primaries that the nominee didnt have time to scramble back to the center before the general election. nytimes/2014/01/25/us/politics/republicans-approve-changes-to-nominating-process.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
