“Clinton didn’t enter the race until Oct. 4, 1999.”
You mean Clinton was president since ‘93 and didn’t even enter the race until ‘99?? How did that happen? :)
And here are some other examples as to why you shouldn’t act as if polls are a “done deal.”
CBS News Poll, December 14-16, 2003
Dean - 23%
Clark - 10%
Lieberman - 10%
Gephardt - 6%
Sharpton - 5%
Kerry - 4%
Edwards - 2%
Al Sharpton was beating John Kerry in the national polls. Al Sharpton. The day before the Iowa caucuses, CBS released another national primary poll where John Kerry managed to climb into 4th place nationally with a whopping 7% of the vote.

Polls aren’t a done deal but cite me one where the GOP candidate has done the comebacks you are referencing regarding the Democrats..... different group and the GOP tends to go with long long term mainstays. Poll are good indicators of where one stands at any one time and to be sucking hind teat isn’t the best place. There isn’t a single digit GOP candidate today that will become the 2008 nominee, imo.
