N.C. Primary in February?

A bill has been introduced in the state senate to move North Carolina's presidential primary from May to the first Tuesday in February in 2008. It might be called (but isn't) "The Political Tourism Promotion Act of 2005," since its authors are trying to make N.C. a player in the early presidential primaries, which would also inevitably boost revenues in certain tourism-related industries, especially advertizing. It would put N.C.'s primary soon after the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary (and ahead of South Carolina's, which ought to steam 'em pretty good).
