Primaries and Hypotheticals

So I've been giving some thought to the primaries of 2008, especially in the wake of California moving up our own primaries.

Consider the following hypothetical situation: every state moves their primaries up to the same day, say some 3 weeks before the national conventions.

Would fundraising be more or less important than it is today?

Before, candidates could pretty much focus ads towards those states with earlier primaries. If everybody had it on the same day however, this could force fundraising to be a gigantic factor, resulting in the necessity to raise exponentially more money, reducing our elections to money over everything (more so than it is today.)

On the other hand...it could have the opposite effect. If no candidates could have the ability to raise that amount of money, would the issues (carried by the news or such media) actually dominate the quality/quantity of paid advertisements put forth by the candidates for the primaries...If so, would that increase the "quality of democracy", as measured by the knowledge of the issues?

Fun hypothetical.
