From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

A guerrilla campaign to move up Nevada's Republican presidential nominating caucus to the same January 2008 date as the Democrats' probably will succeed.

"The rank and file have decided that if February 7 was a good idea, January 19 is a great idea," said Republican caucus Chairman Pete Ernaut, who agitated to move the GOP's Nevada contest from April to February. "I think it's great. I'm excited to see it happen."

The decision isn't official. It will have to be voted on by the party's Central Committee, scheduled to meet April 21 in Carson City.

Republican activist Chuck Muth said he believes there are enough votes to pass the measure. Governor Gibbons has indicated he will support the move if it passes, but there's still a question whether Senator John Ensign will back the idea.
