Have there been other presidential elections in which we knew the nominees before the conventions?

Asked by mamasu (1380points) August 15th, 2008

Perhaps I was just never paying attention before, but I always remember waiting until the conventions to learn who each party would nominate to run. This election has had it’s prospective nominees known for quite some time. Is this a new aspect of the election process or has it been a fairly consistent factor in the past?
