I like the idea that the penalty for going early is proportionality.  It gives a candidate who expects a state to go for him a reason push the state party to go later.

But really, the only solution for the earlier and earlier phenomenon is for one or both of the major parties to decide they'll run their Presidential nominating process themselves without the involvement (or financing) of the States.

In normal countries, federal campaigns last a few weeks....not a few years.

I forgot that western European countries define what is "normal".


Do you find campaigns that last multiple years desirable?

Define "campaign".  We have no institutionalized "leader of the opposition".
