Can we stop referring to Mitt Romney as the "front runner"? Only 23% support in first Iowa straw poll?

He is still the front runner in polls that include all of the United States, not just Iowa. But several other candidates could beat him, like Bachman, Cain, or Pawlenty. It is way early to make any predictions. Heck the first time I ever heard of Obama was about 1&1/2 years before he was elected.
