Uhh...Bush vs. Kerry was just 4 years ago. Kerry had a TWENTY POINT LEAD on Bush after he clinched the democratic nomination. Carter also had a big lead on Reagan in 1980. History shows it's quite normal for the demo candidate to enjoy all the media adoration and rack up a big lead early. Then the GOP get their face time with conventions and debates when they and their opponent aren't filtered by the media. The usual response is enough people coming to their senses and voting GOP.
20 point lead? Link??? That’s absurd.
