Well, I haven't read it since last summer, but one proposal I found interesting was the idea of making certain changes to the primaries; namely, replacing Super Tuesday with a concept that the book called Ultimate Tuesday. Under the Ultimate Tuesday system, one primary would be held in a given state (I believe starting in New Hampshire was preserved) every week or so, leading to an "Ultimate Tuesday" where primaries would be held in the remaining 46 states. This would theoretically allow candidates with less money to focus their funds on individual states, allowing them to compete with better financed candidates. By the time Ultimate Tuesday arrived, attention garnered from results in the initial states would hopefully give smaller candidates (if worthy) a chance in the ultimate runoff. This would also greatly shorten the length of the primary campaigns. Excessively long campaigns were often cited in the book as a major source of voter apathy.
