Merry Christmas Caucus, Iowa!

Florida's decision to move its primary up on the calendar probably means a holiday caucus in Iowa.

CNN reports that Florida will violate Republican National Committee rules and move its presidential primary to January.

That means the four earliest states--Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina--will move up before Florida. Since Iowa goes first, we face the prospect of a Christmas caucus. We'll definitely hear from state party leaders in Iowa and the other early states after the decision is officially announced.
