The End of Power For Iowa and New Hampshire? by Matt Margolis @ 4:15 pm on December 19, 2004 Democratic activist and potential DNC Chairman candidate Simon Rosenberg is speaking out against the tremendous influence Iowa and New Hampshire have in the in the presidential primaries. “Iowa and New Hampshire should not go first in the primary calendar, and we need to create a system that allows other states to have equal footing,” he said. “I have no problem with Iowa and New Hampshire being part of the early states, but their days as the sole arbiters of who our nominee is should come to an end.” Rosenberg came too late for Howard Dean, who likely would have become the Democratic Party’s nominee had it not been for Iowa and New Hampshire. How serious is this idea? Apparently very serious. A week ago, the DNC formed a 40-member panel “to study whether to shake up the dominance that Iowa and New Hampshire hold in presidential nominations.”
