19. Moving the other primaries up makes NH and IA *more* important.

Think of the bounce each general election candidate gets in the polls from their conventions. Winners in NH and IA also get a bounce which wears off over time. By compressing the primaries the bounce has less time to wear off. So the first primaries are more likely than ever to decide the victor.
