A disadvantage of the current system that no one mentioned is that it makes states like Iowa and New Hampshire and also the ST states obscenely powerful, and states like New Jersey and New Mexico basically irrelevant.
I would prefer a staggered primary calendar similar to the current one, but where the order of states is determined by lottery - for instance, one year California's primary would be randomly selected for February, four years later, it'd be in June. Have a third party certify the lottery results like the NBA Draft.
A top-two runoff primary like others have mentioned is an acceptable option, but it still puts too much of an emphasis on fundraising and name recognition.
