My thought's to have two states be "first" at the same time with rather different demographics, then the third state can be a swing state.

It makes politicians focus more nationally from the beginning while still having flexibility on where they want to focus more for those two first states if they prefer. Demographics can feel better represented if it's not like North and South Dakota or Oregon and Washington. Having a swing state be the third state doesn't feel too much like pandering while still being a solid step in separating the trees from the twigs so to speak. The loss here though is it would be a bit harder for new/unproven campaigns to get their first win if two states are at play to begin instead of one...but with two states being first, you can go all in on one state while your opponent may be aiming for both states.

Not a perfect idea, but maybe helpful.
