"First in the Nation" states shouldn't be too comfortable

Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, has announced that Iowa and New Hampshire may no longer have the right to kick off the nomination season. The Republican party has often fought to keep the two states from being overruled by other states, but this could soon change. The Times says opposition of the "First in the Nation" states claim that by being the first in the nomination process the states receive too much attention from candidates and thus receive far more money in campaigning than do other states in order to get momentum going into the nomination.
