19. There needs to be a balance
It's probably not a good idea to have them all simultaneously, for some of the reasons that you state, though that is the way I feel after witnessing 2004.

But, I don't think we should let a few small conservative states decide the primary. If we're going to stay with spread out primaries, the very least that needs to happen is to balance the front loaded primaries with a few liberal states. Maybe Vermont would balance New Hampshire and Minnesota would balance Iowa. In the West, maybe New Mexico and Colorado, take your pick. I don't know if there are any liberal states in the South, so it maybe better to leave them out of the first round. Call it mini Monday. I don't want to see any more Replublican-lite, loser candidates nominated. Get a real Democrat in there.
