PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The date of Rhode Island's presidential primary is on the move.
Bills currently moving with speed through the House and Senate would push presidential primary day from the first Tuesday in March to the fourth Tuesday in April, every four years.

While supporters say the significance of little Rhody's vote got lost last time around in super-Tuesday voting, critics, including state Rep. Robert Watson, R-East Greenwich, who chaired Arizona Sen. John McCain's 2008 campaign in Rhode Island, told colleagues during a House floor debate last week that an April primary could make the state totally irrelevant.
