What would be wrong with having a National Primary Election Day? Say the third Monday in February, President's Day. I believe it would even the playing field for the candidates*, but it would also give every vote the same importance.
(*) Campaign finance reform would be necessary so that the candidates can campaign in each state equally. That way voters might be influenced more by the substance of a candidate rather than by the amount of advertising the candidate can afford.
