each of the states, being able to learn the individual states needs as well as the national pulse.

Suggesting a three day primary does shorten the primary season, unless you propose that the proposed primary vote occur three days before the national convention. Then I still see campaigns taking up only the most populous states (delegate rich states) and 44 or so states never seeing a candidate unless you count looking up as they fly over on their way to New York or California.

I still don't see the problem with Iowa and New Hampshire going first, like having Rhode Island or Montana going first is going to change the media's behavior and our buying into it?

Lengthen the primary calendar, choose small states to go before large states to keep the delegate count competitive, quit listening to the MSM about who is ahead in which state until it is time to caucus/vote in your state.
