The New York Times reports in
this article that a large number of states are planning on holding their
primaries for Democratic presidential nominee early in the season---thanks
to a change in Democratic party rules.
The Los Angeles Times has this interesting
front page article today detailing how some last-minute campaign contributions
by an insurance company went unreported until after the election and may
have deprived Democrats in the assembly of a 2/3 majority that would have
allowed them to pass budget proposals without cooperation with Republicans.
