Reply #3: How about regional times so candidates can campaign in a group of

states instead of having to fly everywhere?

I like the idea of areas including blue and red states.

We could include MN, WI, IL, IA, MO, IN, MI and Ohio in one group.

The battle would be which regions get to go first.

The mid-Atlantic states could also be a good region to get a well rounded view - maybe with PA, DE, TN, VA, WV, KY, etc.

The groups of states include both urban and rural, more minority populations, etc.
