Again, you are comparing this election to elections past.
Howard Dean was also a frontrunner in those same national polls at the same time. He fell right before Iowa when they saw that he was trailing Bush heavily in head-to-head polling.
Gawd, IMAGINE THAT. Looking to past elections for clues as to how this election might go down. Silly me.
You are welcome to stay here and continue to make a fool of yourself. I gotta go paint some cabinets. Adios.
