Professors Paul R. Abramson, John H. Aldrich, and David W. Rohde discuss the major reform introduced by the Democratic Party for its 2004 presidential nomination contest–rules that will lead to a large number of delegates being chosen early in the delegate selection window. They show that the 2004 contest will be more “front-loaded” than any contest since the Democrats introduced a delegate selection “window” in 1980. They argue that these rules, along with the large field of Democratic contenders, make it more likely that no clear winner will emerge before the Democratic Party nomination convention.
