On a list of state primary dates at Project Vote Smart (which you can see HERE), seven states' Democratic primaries are listed in italics, meaning the date is still up in the air. New Hampshire's is marked simply with a question mark, so make that eight states without a firm date. In the case of the Republican primary, 10 states haven't pinned down their plans.

With a date of March 4, 2008, Vermont isn't as alone as you might think. A good number have later ones too.

On this day when Hillary Clinton reported raising $22 million in the last three months (Barack Obama still leads her in overall fundraising for the primary), are you all expecting the goose to be well cooked before Vermont gets to vote? Does the recipe change between now and whenever New Hampshire votes? Or is three-plus months a long time?
