Best Answer

The party out of power has lost the last election and often the last two. Consequently,the past candidates and the old guard in the party have been discredited to some extent at least The party needs to do something different in order to regain power and one obvious way to do this is to find a fresh, new, outstanding candidate who will energize the party and lead it to victory. Ambitious people step forward, attract followers and funding and the primary battles ensue.

The party in power can ruin on its record and can establish a more or less order of succession for its next candidate- i.e. either run the incumbent President or if he is in his second term. run the vice-president or someone in his cabinet.
