 And more broadly, political parties ought to be able to shape the message that they want to send, including who should be their leader, in a much more nimble fashion. Since they can't, and they have to do it through this process of the primaries, caucuses, they need to start making those decisions a lot earlier. And that means facing difficult choices a year out of the election. It's understandable, I think, why a party wouldn't do that.
