DNC deal tries to curb rush to front-load '08 calendar
WASHINGTON (AP) -- States willing to hold back in the rush to move up presidential nominating contests would be rewarded with extra delegates to the Democratic National Convention under a proposal being presented to party leaders.
The plan is an attempt to avoid a free-for-all in the Democratic presidential race, with states such as California and Michigan threatening to move up their nominating dates to get more attention and favor from national leaders. States that have traditionally come late in the process and gotten little attention in the process would get a "small bonus" of delegates to the 2008 convention if they stay put. States willing to move their events later in the year would get "significant bonuses." |
