Democratic Party Nominating Calendar

Ahhhh, a title that only a D.C. wonk could love. From Kicking Ass, the DNC blog, come this news:

The Commission on Presidential Nomination Timing and Scheduling just
wrapped up its look into the Democratic nominating calendar. The final
report is available here if you're interested, and in the spirit of transparency, the DNC Office of Party Affairs and Delegate Selection has provided the materials from all of the meetings leading up to the report, which will be permanently available at www.democrats.org/commission.

The report is actually quite interesting even if you're just approaching the logic behind the nominating calendar for the first time. There's a lot of history and a lot of academic reasoning behind many of the decisions that make the schedule into what it is.

Action item: Glance, skim, read through the final report. Love the idea? Hate it? Contact the DNC and let them know what you think.
