Gardner says he probably won't set primary date this week

CONCORD, N.H. -- New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner said it is unlikely he will set a date for the New Hampshire Primary this week.

Even though Michigan Democrats said this afternoon they want to hold their primary on Jan. 15, a court of appeals would have to overturn a lower court's decision last week that invalidated the Jan. 15 primary altogether.

Michigan lawmakers are going into a special session Tuesday to deal with the matter.

Gardner told the Associated Press he is going to wait for Michigan to sort out their date before announcing when the Granite State will hold its primary.
