Republican state parties are suddenly jockeying for advantage on the 2016 presidential primary calendar, with Nevada hoping to leapfrog South Carolina as the No. 3 contest, and several states, including Texas and Florida, looking to create a Mega Tuesday election on the first day in March.
The rapidly intensifying competition is fomenting some bitterness among the state party chairmen and threatening to complicate Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus best-laid plans to move up the GOP convention to June 2016 to avoid a brokered nomination and bring order and fairness to the way the GOP selects its nominee.

The biggest concern has always been pricing grass-roots candidates out of the race, South Carolina GOP Chairman Matt Moore said. It will clearly be expensive to compete after February.
Even as his own state tries to move up the calendar to mid-February, Mr. Moore worries more about the impact of the changes being contemplated for March 2016, when several states hope to slide their contests forward to become more relevant to the outcome.
It might help an extremely well-funded candidate who doesnt need to reload following South Carolina and Nevada, Mr. Moore said in one of several Washington Times interviews with state party chairmen.
It is not lost on GOP officials what this means for 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney and for Floridas Jeb Bush, the son of one former president and brother of another.
Should either run, Mr. Romney and Mr. Bush are among the few perhaps the only potential candidates who, from the instant they announce their candidacy, could count on more than enough financial largesse from major donors to compete effectively in all of the most expensive states.
Even so, its not clear that any candidate could emerge as the de facto nominee after mid-March or even after the Republican National Convention convenes, probably in late June, some fear.
A Southern Super Tuesday followed by a Midwestern Super Tuesday between March 1 and March 14 would, under RNC rules, mean that every state party participating would award its delegates in proportion to the percentage of the total vote each candidate received in that state.

House Republican leaders are considering a short-term extension of the U.S. Export-Import Bank amid a dispute with Tea Party-aligned members who want to let the 80-year-old agency lapse Sept. 30.
Leaders are discussing an extension of several months, said a Republican aide who asked yesterday not to be identified because no plans have been made public.
While Export-Import Bank President Fred Hochberg is pushing for reauthorization, he said a short-term extension wouldnt resolve uncertainty for foreign companies that rely on its help to buy U.S. goods.
Business people dont work six weeks at a time, Hochberg said in an Aug. 21 interview. I understand Congress, but thats not the real world of business. Thats not the world of profits and loss, sales and employment. Thats legislative language.
The Export-Import Bank provides loan guarantees, loans and insurance to help foreign companies buy U.S. goods. Without a reauthorization, the agency wouldnt be able to authorize new loans though it still could manage existing loans and contracts.
Hochberg said a short-term reauthorization of the bank would signal to foreign competitors a lot of hand-wringing in America about what to do about this.
Opposition to reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank is a litmus test for some House Republicans pushing for a smaller government. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling has called Ex-Im crony capitalism for its frequent business with Boeing Co. (BA)
House Speaker John Boehner is trying to diminish party differences before the November congressional elections.
Even a short extension would show movement by Hensarling, 57, of Texas and other Republicans who have called for abolishing the agency and relying on the private sector to fill its role.
If you wanted to kill it, this is the best time to kill it, said Tom Davis, a former Republican congressman from Virginia. A willingness to consider a short extension would show they want to ruffle as few feathers before the election as possible, he said.
