If California, Illinois, Florida, and New Jersey have primaries in February '08, is that a good thing?

No, I do not believe it is a good idea because it really does not give the other states an opportunity because these are huge states and a great prize for the winner. My belief is there should be a nationwide primary on one day and the candidate or candidates with the majority of delegates go to the convention and decide who the nominee will be. If a candidate has received 50% +1 delegate over the minimum that is the person who is nominated and the vice presidential candiate would be voted on after the candidate selects whoever they desired. This gives all states the opportunity to vote for the nominee on an equal scale.I am also against a winner take all for states but designated by percentage of the popular vote and the same goes for the presidential election in which congressional districts and not a winner take all would decide who wins what state. (23-0 could actually be 12-11 and gives a better representation of how a state feels about the candidates.
