Does that happen often that two or three candidates might be running neck and neck going into the 10-state vote? Or is it mostly the case that someone emerges as the frontrunner early on in these campaigns?My memory is that the primary campaigns used to last longer in terms of the number of primaries that were held before a winner emerged (I could be wrong about that), but the campaigns are definitely shorter in terms of days, weeks, months.
Dick Morris says that "the front-loading of the nominating process proved too drastic to permit second thoughts" and blames DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe for this. Morris claims that McAuliffe's "impatience has led to a miscalculation in which the party has put forward a weaker nominee than it might have, had the primaries lasted for more than a few weeks."
