Politics: USA: State primaries bunch-up on calendar, at Feb 5, 2008, for the Nov 2008 presidential election

More than a majority of delegates to both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions will be chosen on a single day in 2008, February 5. The Conventions will be held later, with the formal election campaign launching from their choices. The vote itself will take place in November 2008. This updates our more complete schedule of all the state primaries posted in our Feb23,2k7 blog-entry.

The Mar6 update to our Feb23,2k7 blog-entry also includes a correction to an absurd mistake in the headline!
