Michigan Senator pledges to have his state's contest the same day as NH

Michigan Senator Carl Levin, a Democrat and long time agitator of the New Hampshire Primary, reportedly pledged to hold the Michigan presidential caucuses on the same date as New Hampshire's contest, whenever the Granite State decides to set it.

The move from Levin, as reported by The Politico, could be viewed as an attempt to have New Hampshire officials move the first-in-the-nation presidential primary to December, a move widely panned by many officials for fear of backlash.

Currently Michigan is scheduled to hold presidential caucuses on January 15. New Hampshire's Secretary of State has not set a date for his state's primary, but is expected to do so next month.
