The legislatures of all states get to decide the primary dates, generally speaking.
In Florida, it was a repub-majority legislature, but like Drolefille said, the Dems in the legislature went along with it as well. And I don't think they should be seated as is. Many Florida residents didn't even vote because the election was thought of as a beauty contest. And no one campaigned in the state. I think the results would have been different if $$$ and time had been poured into Florida. Who knows? Edwards might have been in a different position today. There should be a do-over.
I agree with AGDee about Michigan, though.
