Dean led the eventual nominee by 13% in the national polls and the second place finisher by 16%. Clark was a solid second (13% to Dean's 20%) while everyone else was in a close pack ranging from Gephardt at 8% to Kucinich at 2%.
I love how Obama supporters invoke 2003-2004 to argue that their candidate will eventually overtake HRC and win (since these BO fans like to paint the race as a two-way contest). What they ignore is that the second place candidate--whose candidacy had many parallels to Obama's candidacy--flamed out even worse than Dean that year.
