Democratic Strategist

This Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for a lot of things that have nothing to do with politics, and thus have no place here. But on the political front, I am thankful that the Great Nominating Contest Calendar Dance of 2007 appears to have ended, with Michigan's primary being set for January 15, and New Hampshire's for January 8. The specter of NH and then IA moving up into December has finally been banished.

That means people like me don't have to completely recalibrate many months of speculation about the dynamics of the nominating process. And more importantly, it means a lot of poorly paid campaign staffers and unpaid volunteers will get to have some sort of holiday season.
