Once upon a time, there seemed to be an unspoken yet established rule that the Republican Primaries would happen at a certain time of year in direct correlation to the actual votes for President.
but something strange seems to have happened this year. for some reason a few states have tossed around the idea of moving their primary dates up as early as December! and doing so would cause some states who have the 'rights' to go first in said primaries to have to move up the dates to even earlier!
But what would that mean? the big glaring response is "elections are sooner than you think".
you know how, during school, you suddenly find the deadline on an assignment closer than it should be when you haven't really started? this seems to fit the situation. having the primaries so close makes one suddenly wonder how well they've been paying attention to whats going on, making them really start examining the candidates to choose one if they haven't already, or to be sure the one they have their eye on is the right one for them.
then again, there may also be some out there who are relieved the primaries are coming so early, they already are 100% certain of their choice, or they could simply care less.
reguardless, it seems like no matter if we are prepared or not, primaries are coming sooner than we think.
