NH to announce primary date

Posted: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 2:20 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli and NBC's Domenico Montanaro
New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner will announce New Hampshire's primary date now that Michigan got the OK by its state Supreme Court to go forward on Jan. 15. The likeliest date for New Hampshire to pick would be Jan. 8 -- five days after the Iowa caucuses and a full week before Michigan -- providing it the media attention to retain its potential momentum significance. New Hampshire state law says it must hold its primary at least a week before any similar contest.
