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.
