Doesn’t it seem like every presidential election heats up earlier than the last one? The 2012 election is still over a year away but candidates are doing whatever it takes it get ahead of the competition.

Yes, it’s always better to be prepared, but is it possible to enter too early?

If somebody announces his candidacy too early, is he hurting himself by giving voters more time to get to know him, see his flaws, and dislike him? By throwing your name into the hat early, are you not just providing more time the voters and media to dig up dirt?

Isn’t it best to fly under the radar while doing all the prep work before throwing your hat in the ring? That way, when a candidate announces his candidacy for the White House, he’ll be like a breath of fresh air. All the voters will be tired of all hearing of all the other candidates and it’ll be nice for them to have another option.

A political party loves it when one of its members is in the White House for a first term, seeking a second. That’s the current situation for the Democrats who hope to re-elect President Obama. Even though people know who he is and they have seen him in the White House since 2009, party members will stick with him since he was their ticket in the first place and they’re riding the momentum.

As of right now, we know former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Representative Michele Bachmann and others have already thrown their names in the hat to run. Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to make his official announcement Saturday and former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has yet to decide whether or not he’ll take a shot at it.

A question to ask is whether or not Bachmann, Romney and Perry announced their candidacy too early. Will Republicans be tired of them when the time comes to pick a candidate to run against Obama? If Pawlenty does run, when should he announce his decision?
