Here's my idea. Have 51 or however many days, each with a primary or caucus to be scheduled on that day. The order of the states is determined by an auction of how which fraction of their delegates they are willing to give up. For instance, the 1st place state might end up having to give up 100% of their delegates, the next state 90%, while the last few states wouldn't give up anything.

If a lot of states really wanted to be first, I could see allowing bids of over 100%, and so the first state would end up with NEGATIVE delegates, and the winner of that state would LOSE delegates.
