Also, no one seems to mention that shutting things down will have an even more pernicious effect on the timing of primaries the next time around. I know it's not important now, but if you tell the late-voting states that the one time their vote really matters that they won't get the chance, is any state ever going to hold a primary after Super Tuesday?

What's the problem with holding them all on the same day? I guess it could knock out some "smaller" candidates because they can't afford to advertise everywhere, and so they don't get that momentum thing that winning a few small/low population states early on can give people.
