#2 Actually, this is probably a more sane way to do things, if the Republicans would agree to do the same. It galls to have some pissant small State determine who the major candidates are going to be, sucking down vast amounts of money for what amounts to a "moral" victory. A rotating regional primary would both be powerful enough to matter, too important to ignore, and let the candidates limit themselves to a 10-or-so State junket at a time. They could really hobnob in each State and even have time for primary debates in two or three. Also, by rotating which region kicked it off would help insure that State parties would periodically get "refreshed" by their national, along with their congressmen and senators.
