I'd love to see NH move their primary earlier. August doesn't seem like much of an upgrade to me. If they're uncomfortable with June and the legislature session ending in June, they could do July instead. Odd that this isn't seriously considered; especially since politics loves compromise between two offerings.

Also of note is that besides VT and RI, MA is right in the same ballpark for their primaries. Usually 1-2 weeks before NH. I wonder why it's nearly all of New England. Connecticut being the exception as is often the case. It's usually either them or NH that ends up breaking a pattern out here.
