I don't see why everyone thinks that National Primary Plan is a good idea.  In order for a candidate to have a chance at winning a national primary he or she would have to have a lot of money and a good deal of name recognition.  If in 2008 for example we had a NP system, and that primary was held on the same day as the Iowa Caucus, both Giuliani and Clinton would have emerged as the winner of their party's nomination.  The National Primary system favors established candidated with a lot of money (AKA "political superstars")
