This just in: The Boston Globe is reporting that there is a push for the Massachusetts state primary now scheduled for March to be moved up a month to February, which could give the Bay State the potential to be a powerhouse player in the presidential nominating process.
This move could happen as early as November 21, when the legislature ends its session.
The Globe says the suggestion is coming from Secretary of State William F. Galvin. He's already got the support of House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi, who believes this would increase the significance of Massachusetts primary votes, and possibly inspire more people to participate.
As a Massachusetts voter, this change would certainly put the fire under me to vote in a primary that would otherwise seem inconsequential.
