2004 national polls show that things can change a lot

[Mr. Morden]

Just thought I'd post this to remind people how the presidential primary polls can change dramatically.  Pollster.com has this figure that includes a running average of all the '04 Dem. presidential candidates' national support leading up to early Feb. 2004, when Kerry started to run away with it:

Just keep that in mind when anyone tries to argue that anything about the 2008 nominations is "inevitable".

And that was all because of the Iowa Caucuses.  Bill Bradley, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Howard Dean; they all tried New Hampshire as the gateway to the nomination, but it just doesn't work.  Iowa is the key to the Presidency.  It starts a domino effect to the undecided voters.
