The Republican National Party is on the road to a spectacular view about his attitude towards the New Hampshire primary’s first presidential elections.

Republican National Committee The Committee approved the rules 28-12 yesterday to approve the 2012 presidential election primary education and a group calendar that, for the first time, recognizes and preserves the primary’s first-in-the-nation . This is a sharp contrast with the current GOP rule, which does not allow special status for New Hampshire.

“This is an important step in the right direction,” said a member of the Rules Committee Sean Mahoney Portsmouth, the point man in local efforts. “Rules Committee really appreciate the importance of Traditionally, the retail grass root election campaigns where candidates who, perhaps inadequate and can come and meet voters on the basis of One. ”

“There is a broad consensus that our Republican nomination process has worked well,” said the chairman of the state GOP Fergus Cullen.

The vote, but it was important was not the last word. It is a recommendation that the committee is assisted by the influence of the full Republican National Committee in August. From there, the plan, either by the state or modified, it is separated from the leadership of the committee of the Republican National Convention, and then on the Convention on the full final vote.

The Republicans, unlike the Democrats, can not change their rules between conventions, so that, if the current plans has been granted final, it will be by the presidential campaign of 2012 and can not be changed until Convention 2012.

Mahoney said a change in the date for the opening tight again from January 15 to avoid further conflicts between political campaigns and holidays.

The plan allows 20 participants in a “small countries and territories” to begin meetings of the group or primary colors company in the third week of February. Three “rotating” US bushings are major events from the first full week of March, the fourth week of March and the third full week of April.

The order in which these pods would be by lot for 2012. The first question in that this year will be at the back of the line, while the next steps in the first and until 2016, so that each group is a first rotation of the presidency every three cycles. But the first four countries remain in the first position.

Mahoney acknowledged, it is a challenge to the first four events in the first three weeks of February, but Secretary of State Bill Gardner said (or anyone, is secretary of state in 2011 and 2012), working with other countries first elections officials to ensure that the primary be held at least one week before the election all similar, as is the case under the rule of law.

“We are very pleased with the result, no doubt,” said Mahoney. “But it is not the last word, and we do not wholly take for granted. There are still obstacles to jump, we must, but it is certainly good news.”

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Attorney General Tom Miller says he’s disappointed that lawmakers have again rejected legislation that would allow consumers to file a lawsuit under Iowa’s anti-fraud act.

Miller says Iowa is the only state where consumers don’t have such a right.

Under Iowa’s current law, consumers can pursue a common-law action for fraud. But Miller says that’s unrealistic for many people because of the cost.

The new law would have allowed them to recoup costs such as attorneys fees if they won the case.

Miller has tried at least a half-dozen times to pass such protections, and he promises he’ll try again.

Some critics had said the legislation is anti-business and could lead to meritless lawsuits.

The attorney general says he believes proponents of the bill can find a way to convince legislators to support the effort.

The bill is considered dead because it failed to meet a legislative deadline as the session edges toward adjournment.
