Presidential Primaries

With so many primaries being moved ahead of their usual schedule, it certainly creates some additional road blocks for any candidates who are not as well known in the public eye. Ron Paul is such a candidate. He is currently trying to raise over 400,000 dollars to pay for advertising in four states: New Hampshire, Iowa (two very important primaries of course), North Carolina, and Iowa. I wonder why primaries are being pushed sooner than usual. You can make donations on Ron Paul's website if you wish to help give him a fighting chance. Also, I would love to hear some thoughts on the primaries being pushed to earlier dates.
