I found this article courtesy Political Wire, but the upshot is that, as of now, there will only be nine primaries on Super Tuesday in 2012. The Democrats nominal and Republicans non-existent penalty against FL for moving their primary up last time seems to have signalled open season on the once sacrosanct early status of the NH and SC primaries (and, of course, the IA caucus). On the other hand, that also gives big states incentive to hold out for a LATER primary date to play kingmaker. It's hard to believe, but the nature of US primary politics has actually gotten MORE muddled.

Don't hold your breath on Daniels though; the only thing anyone's heard from him on the subject for at least a month is list of reasons he's NOT running, headed by what amounts to "I don't want to put my family through that public meat grinder". After the things said about McCains family during the 2000 primary I can't really blame him.
