It is a bad thing. Now all the effort will be for one single day, February 5, 2008 to nominate. That is FAR too soon, and far too dependent on an election. It will become national, not state by state as we once knew it. The local or statewide issues will be tossed aside. I predict disaster.

I don't necessarily agree that it is a bad thing. It may be just the right thing to finally put a stake through the heart of one (or better: BOTH) the major parties and allow the rise of third parties.
I think that would be a good thing.
