Beltway Happenings
Oct. 1, 2005--In its fourth meeting, the DNC's Commission on Presidential Nomination Timing and Scheduling  reached a consensus to recommend adding from two to four states in the early "pre-window" phase of the 2008 nominating calendar, with the exact details still to be worked out.  Iowa and New Hampshire will continue to be among the early states.
(Below) Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), a leading critic of the privileged positions granted to Iowa and New Hampshire, squares off with commission member Terry Shumaker, who is director of the New Hampshire Education Association.
