No, but the system should be fairer.  All primaries should occur on the same day.

I still say that this method would be awful; no candidate would gain a majority of delegates and the nominee would be decided at the convention. So instead of using the convention time to showcase a candidate, the party to go from ballot to ballot until the last man remains standing. When this happens, things can get ugly (1968).

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina deciding who the next President should be, but from a political perspective, it's preferable that way.
