Before the Primary Election set your clocks ahead;Haha, the 2012 Primary is just around the corner and after weeks of foot-dragging, desperate candidates are tripping over themselves with eleventh-hour gambits to get the leg-up on their opponents.

Then they'll all just nod off again until November.
