Fuzzy is right, plus there is the whole issue of the cost of long drawn out primaries. When one side has a much longer primary they end up with a cash disadvantage. Again we saw that with Romney in the summer of 2012 when his campaign struggled to combat the anti-Romney narrative in the Obama ad onslaught which many saw as Obama successfully defining Romney as an out of touch fat cat.
This is the main reason the GOP moved their convention to an earlier date, in order to allow the candidate to spend general election money.
