Is Clinton peaking too early?

Is anybody else having trouble synchronizing what we see in the Democratic party with the calendar?  We are already coronating the nominee, Hillary Clinton, and we haven't even had a real fight or crisis yet?  Here we are after eight years of Republican rule and we are going to decide this thing in the 3rd inning?

It seems to me that one or more of the following is likely to happen before the convention:

1.  Major world event/crisis that reframes the election such as a major economic collapse, a war, a horrific terrorist event, an assassination.
2.  A scandal, major snafu, by the leader or spouse or campaign leader. This could be financial, emotional (think Edmund Muskie), moral (think Gary Hart).

It just seems that Clinton is hitting on all cylinders awfully early.  The Republican's meanwhile seem very far behind the calendar.  They are behaving like it is September of 2006! 

This entire campaign just seems out of synch with historical calendars.

She is certainly running a texbook "clinic" on her campaign so far.  It certainly appears that she is marching to the nomination.  Yet, as I talk to people around the country, it just doesn't feel like other presidential campaigns. 

Maybe it is the familiarity and the idea that virtually everyone has a well-informed opinion on Hillary Clinton.  She is a know quantity. 

Let's get on with the primaries.
