>>I'd also like to see a primary system that gives every state a meaningful vote. The one I've heard about that I like lets Iowa and NH keep their early dates, but then divides the states into four groups by size. Starting from the group of smallest states, you have a primary day once a month, with one group voting. Done right, no one can get enough delegates until the last of the four dates, so every state gets some clout.

Actually, I think convincing the national parties would do it. They clearly have the power to force the states to change or lose their power.
