At the beginning of the Casper forum Fred Parady argued that the primary season should kick off with small population states gradually building up to the big prize of California at the end. Parady's proposed primary process would take months to unfold giving voters an ample opportunity to learn about candidates. The stakes get a little higher with each state enabling candidates to easily overcome losses in early states.
OTOH trends seem to indicate America moving towards one national primary date for all states.
