you are not the only one to request this one to be calendared. and i think that the commission by and large does a good job of recognizing when a matter should be brought before the commission and as, mr. st. croix said, the matter would otherwise have been heard in closed session, but for the fact that the fppc had already issued a determination, and so, these are typically not, even when discussed among the commissioners, done so in, or with the public present and now if we want to discuss a change to that prior, whereby they are automatically calendar and we discuss one at every meeting we can do that. but, i think that that, that decision is for a separate time. and i think that today, we should focus on adjudicating the actual matter. >> madam chair? >> we will indeed, focus on adjudicating it and in fact, as i said, i intend to vote for the stimulation. but, i think that in regard to the procedures themselves, where we have a matter of such public significance, that shows a conflict of interest to this extent, that it should be something th

as an item, on the calendar. and any member of the public can read this document. and we have heard from two members of the public, giving us the differing views, necessarily, and apparently on the seriousness of the conduct. but, if we are going to, if we are going to challenge the staff if we think that the staff was wrong, and then that we need something else, and as i understand it, that has got to be done in private, initially. and then, when you make your, and we make our final conclusions, and it becomes public. >> madam chair? i have not challenged the staff and i am complimenting the staff and in regard to one thing that i don't understand that commissioner renne said is that if we wanted to discuss this, and we go into it, and it would have to be done in the private session and i am looking here at the letter that i got from mr. st. croix, relating to this matter, and when i first got it. and in the final paragraph, he says, due to the fppc public deliberation adecember macing of the attached exhibit th

you know oprah just put in these kind of new calendars and in fact that's where i got the idea i did think there are a lot of charities and a lot of good causes they do make new calendars to raise money for their cause and that's kind of what i saw it as a little bit of a tongue in cheek. kind of idea however i don't think it would be right to say that it trivializes the plight of whistleblowers in fact i think that the situation we're in right now is not one where we're so much facing a trivialization issue as perhaps a marginalize ation issue what i'm trying to say to people is don't go out and buy a calendar of any odd model i mean i think just about every model has under the sun from here to timbuktu has a calendar of themselves every year give your money to this project and give it to a cause that affects you now i know that you're selling there's calendars on your website and you promise to use the proceeds to how. their activist organizations i wonder how well are they selling so far quite well actually i've actually been quite positively surprised at their reaction that it's

these graphs depict the states on the calendar. while the republicans intended for the race to start later in 2012, the iowa caucuses in both ears were held on january 3. 2008 calendar appears more frontloaded with more candidates -- more states holding contests on super tuesday where we see the high bar. super tuesday occurs closer to the iowa caucuses in 2008 than in 2012. republican reforms were successful in lengthening the process because mccain secured the nomination on march 4 in 2008 and romney became the de facto nominee in 2012 on april 11. the 2008 race was competitive for 61 days compared to 99 days in 2012. the 2012 nomination was competitive for 38 days more than the 2008 nomination. it did lengthen the process. when we look closer at the goals of the number of states and voters allowed to participate in the process, we see a different story. 2008 in those 61 days the race was competitive, 37 states had the opportunity to hold their contests compared to the 30 states that held their that thein the 99 days race was com
