From the Provo Daily Herald, "If Utah Gov. Huntsman and his New Mexico counterpart, Gov. Bill Richardson, have their way, Western states will have a greater say in the 2008 presidential election by holding primary elections on the same day. Huntsman, a Republican, and Richardson, a Democrat, are seeking to revive the idea of a Western states primary for the presidential election. So far, Utah and New Mexico are the only states seriously on board, while Montana, Colorado and Arizona have expressed interest. We hope they sign on, along with Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming."
Thanks to the Western Democrat for the link.
Josh Marshall writes, "Oh that's a good sign. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy handles procurement policy for the White House's Office of Management and Budget. Until Friday the Administrator of the office was David Hossein Safavian. Today he was arrested on a three count indictment."
