Next years Florida presidential primary: big change

From John Kennedy at the Post on Politics blog:

     The state House approved the date Wednesday on a 114-0 vote, with the Senate likely to follow suit as early as next week.
     The date agreed-on is the first under national Republican Party rules that a winner-take-all primary could be set.
     It also could propel the candidacy of Bush, the former governor, or maybe Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio – with both men looking like they’re in the presidential hunt.
     After two presidential cycles where Florida’s Republican leaders pushed the state into January primaries — and were slapped with penalties by national party leaders as a result – lawmakers now see a later date as carrying more weight.
