The presumptive Democratic nominee wants to clean up the nation’s primary (and caucus) mess for the next go-round four years from now.

A message to that effect was issued by Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign Wednesday, calling for a so-called Change Commission that will settle caucus rules, cut the number of superdelegates and develop a system of primaries and caucuses that attempts to avoid this year’s confusion.

The Obama campaign suggested its commission could draw up a system — one with a pre-window for some states to hold primaries or caucuses in February 2012 and all the rest relegated to elections no earlier than the first Tuesday in March of that year.

Iowa and New Hampshire will demand to be part of the early mix — and could be — as national officials seem loath to alienate those states. But two top Michigan Democrats — U.S. Sen. Carl Levin and National Committeewoman Debbie Dingell — who have agitated to break those states’ monopoly on first-in-the-nation status said Wednesday they’ve been assured no state will get an automatic preference.

Obama, however, supports Iowa and New Hampshire keeping their first-in-the-nation status. Accomplishing that may not be part of the commission’s job but, if he wins the presidency, his opinion is likely to count for a lot.

Would it not be a lot easy to have Regional primaries, 3 or 4 weeks, and then move on tyo more important stuff?
