Dems may change caucus, primary system for 2012
Democrats fussed and fumed with each other all year about their caucuses and primaries and there still are lots of hard feelings about what happened in Michigan and Florida, particularly among Hillary Clinton supporters.
To prevent more squabbling in 2012 - and to make Clinton supporters feel better - the party’s Rules Committee is proposing a commission to look at when caucuses and primaries are held, among other things.
Former Ohio U.S. House member Mary Rose Oakar of Cleveland, a co-chair of the Rules Committee, said on Sunday, Aug. 24, called the review of the system a “very challenging experience.
There are some things the Democrats want to avoid, said Oakar, who’s in Denver for the Democratic National Convention.
“They don’t want primaries to be around New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day,” said Oakar.
