Illinois is too big for a first primary state, and a national primary is even worse. We saw with the Democratic primary that it's already hard enough for candidates without much access to national media (e.g. Bullock, Inslee) to break out of the pack, and that shouldn't be made any worse.
There needs to be room for retail politics. IA's problems lay in the poor administration of its caucuses and the inability of an option for people to just vote instead of having to spend 3+ hours at the event. Maybe a more representative/competitive state like NV would be preferable, but a small and unrepresentative state is probably still a better place to start than an expensive battleground.
