If it's going to be one state, I'd say either Illinois or Georgia. Both have urban, rural, and suburban areas, Obama/Trump voters and Romney/Clinton voters, large numbers of both party bases, diversity, and substantial populations. Clearly, though, there would have to be something done about this historic corruption of the Cook County Democratic Party.
I'd like to see a system where Illinois, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Montana all vote first on the same day. This would show candidate strength and viability in states varying in elasticity, general partisanship, population, region, and racial and religious diversity. It would also allow candidates a chance to show both retail and mass media skills, and would require broader appeal on a wider set of issues. Throwing Montana into the mix would also give some influence to Native Americans, who are largely left out of the process currently.
