The 50% rule makes sense.
It is the same solution the republicans used.
This issue isn't about a particular candidate or even a particular election. The fact of the matter is that if there is no sanction against states who move their primaries up in violation of the rules, states will be constantly leapfrogging each other and the first primary will be in June or something.
There has to be some sort of penalty or else it will be chaos in 2012.
The "we need these states in the general so don't disenfranchise the voters" argument doesn't hold water, because as I said before the republicans cut the FL and MI delegates by 50% as a penalty for moving up as well.
