Why is the Convention a month later this year?

[NJSecularist]

This could really come back to hurt us. The Convention is in late August, and likely we won't have a candidate until then. That gives us ,what, one full month to unite behind a candidate?

It was in Late July in 2004.

1. The duopoly swaps months every four years.

2. They choose the date each time and last time it seriously hurt

Kerry that his convention was 5 weeks earlier than Bush's - resulting in him having to use his general election money over 13 weeks to Bush's 8 weeks.

3. Thank you for the response.

That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Thanks to Warren too!
