For those who want to know the details of how the"Ohio Plan" will work, below you'll find a copy of the proposal. The point is that it attempts torevamp the schedule for Repubilcan primaries and caucuses in 2012 and beyond - and keepsSouth Carolina's status as the first primary in the South.

Here's a copy of the actual proposed rule, which, for those not "into" rules, is kind of dry, but you get the point.

(1) No primary, caucus or convention to elect, select or allocate delegates to the national convention shall occur prior to the first week of February in the year in which a national convention is held. For the purposes of delegate election, selection or allocation through presidential primaries, cuacuses or conventions, all other states and territories shall be grouped as follows:

Small States and Territories: Alaska, Deleware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Northern Mariana Islands
