One thing for sure is it doesn't pay to be the front runner in elections early. Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean in 2004, McCain in 2000 etc.
People and the media will always over scrutinize the front runner and over time momentum swings to the underdogs and then they become the front runner near the end of the run and before the media and public begin to sink their teeth into them as they did the previous person.

That is true. I have a feeling some of it might just be that being the front runner early makes you old news by the time the actual elections come around. They have already been running for around a year so by the time elections come people are wore out and tired of the people that they have been hearing non-stop about for the last year.
