All of what you say may be true, however I find it interesting... sometimes the polling numbers hold up and sometimes they don't.
You are right. I am taking it all too seriously. It is nothing more then something for the media to past the time with waiting for real news to show up. I just object to the way it is cynically being used to pre shape the 2008 political battlefield. The way Dean self destructed in 2003-2004 is pretty much proof the polling data at this point is nothing but Junk Media self abuse at it's worst.
