In just the recent history of presidential politics, we can see how the Republicans and Democrats differ. Coming from the NY Times, by Marjorie Connelly http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/02/13/hey-i-know-that-guy/, (loggin needed)
this review of NYTimes/CBS news polls showed that early front runners in the Republican party in 2000 and 1996, George W. Bush and Bob Dole, respectively, were the also the Rep candidate for that year. For Democrats, it was Lieberman in 2000, Jerry Brown in 1992, and Gary Hart in 1998. None of these folks were the Dem candidate for President.
What this might indicate is that for good and bad, the Rep's know who they want early. For Dem's, it takes a process, or is it a village? My pet theory is that Rep's know not only who they want, but what they want and know, based on beliefs, while the Dem's struggle to find the who and the what among many good choices, still searching for answers? I know I am, and will continue to do so...
