Would a 3 tiered Pres. primary make sense? Give the smallest electoral
states the first round, the middle states the second and the powerhouse big guys the last round at voting. Obviously, this would be irregardless of location...based solely on electoral votes.

I've never favored regional primaries, per se, maybe this would be an effective compromise...

First Round -

Alaska 3
Delaware 3
District of Columbia 3
Montana 3
North Dakota 3
South Dakota 3
Vermont 3
Wyoming 3
Hawaii 4
Idaho 4
Maine 4
New Hampshire 4
Rhode Island 4
Nebraska 5
Nevada 5
New Mexico 5
Utah 5
West Virginia 5
Arkansas 6
Kansas 6
Mississippi 6
Connecticut 7
Iowa 7
Oklahoma 7
Oregon 7
Kentucky 8
South Carolina 8
Alabama 9
Colorado 9
Louisiana 9

Second Round -

Arizona 10
Maryland 10
Minnesota 10
Wisconsin 10
Indiana 11
Missouri 11
Tennessee 11
Washington 11
Massachusetts 12
Virginia 13
Georgia 15
New Jersey 15
North Carolina 15
Michigan 17

Third Round -
