There are many pros and cons to having a Democratic National Primary, instead of primaries held in separate states. The positive thing about a national primary is that it allows everyone in the country to feel like they are having a say in their party's future. The bad thing about it is that the primary does not address issues specific to each state, which leaves some people feeling neglected politically.

What is the difference between the primaries and a convention?

Why did the Democratic Party strip Florida of its delegates?
The primary season does not officially start until Feb. 5. Primaries held before then are breaking Democratic party rules. The Dems have decreed that only 4 states can break the rules (Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina). Florida was not given permission to hold their primary before Feb. 5 yet they still proceeded with it anyway on Jan. 29 (why I don't know). Therefore they suffer the consequences as the Democratic party has said it will not allow the state to seat any delegates at the Democratic National Convention in August.
