Interesting twist to the Western Primary Presidential Politics, The Big Strategy

This might be old news, but a possibly forthcoming decision by DNC Primary Calendar Commission to allow some caucus states to slip in between the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary could put some added attention out West:

The slate of states that would be permitted to hold caucuses on 1/22 is not set in stone. One member said that SC and AR would almost certainly be invited to do so, and that the DNC would chose one of two others: NV and CO. But Democratic officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, say that a combination of several other states, including NM, MS, AL, LA and DE, might also be allowed to hold events that day or elsewhere within the pre-window. Those 10 states come from a list Commission member Ed Turlington circulated at the last meeting. Each has less than 5M residents, which permits retail politicking, and each has a minority population that equals 15% or more.
