New Hampshire announced its primary WILL be moved up one week to Tuesday 1 February 2000; this appears to be some kind of "deal" with DELAWARE which will now move its primary from a Saturday to the previous Tuesday (8 February)... IOWA will, almost certainly, now be forced to move its precinct caucuses up to Monday 24 January 2000 and LOUISIANA, which had set its Republican caucuses for Saturday 22 January 2000 to take into account just such a contingency, will almost certainly now fix its caucuses on that date.
