FLASHPOINT for Sep 02, 2007

Sunday, Sept. 2, 2007 | 12:59 p.m.

Now it's time to show Michigan and Florida, those puny states, who's boss. It's us. And Iowa. And New Hampshire. And South Carolina. Who says size matters? It's who goes first that matters. And the Small Four are going before the Bigger Two. Or so says a letter from the Small Four to the presidential hopefuls on the Democratic side. It's a show of solidarity on the calendar as it is. No more leapfrogging. It's too crazy already; you can't make it crazier. That's the message. And you talk about decisive - if we are looking for a real Decider, consider how fast Bill Richardson, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd signed on with the Small Four. Maybe it's because they are, well, small, too. And they need all the help they can get.
