Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Stewart Iverson today praised the
Republican National Committee's rules committee for passing what's
called the "Ohio Plan," which would keep Iowa first in the
presidential nominating process. The plan, passed this morning in
Albuquerque at a meeting of the Republican Rules Committee, would
retain the lead-off roles for Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and
Nevada, and rotate remaining states on a quadrennial basis. Iverson
says this is the first significant step for Iowa's effort to keep its
first-in-the-nation role in the presidential nominating process.
