Too Fast! Too Fast!

California and Florida are both likely moving their primaries up to within 2 weeks of New Hampshire. So, yeah it stinks that those states have recently had their primaries not count one bit, this way is even worse. We're getting closer and closer to a national primary. It will benefit the candidates that have tons of money and can advertise everywhere at once. And it will remove one of the best elements of the primary process - the way candidates have to wade through the many rounds of challenge and questioning that refines their message and that ultimately makes it harder for a pretender to make it through. It's *already* too far from the idea in that regard (see George W) but this will only make it worse, right?
