I’m not sure how much the bounce is going to “recede” this time. Palin is a different candidate and her popularity is likely to grow. There is still a large voting block that knows little about her and the intensity of those that already support her will continue to increase. Remember she was only introduced to America 1-week ago..
Look, Palin's the real deal, a superstar. The campaign raised $10 million over a holiday weekend after her announcement for VP. The RNC raised $17 million the past two days, only one of which was after her tremendous speech. Her effect on conservatives and Pubbies in general cannot be emphasized enough. But the polling numbers are likely going to reflect a divided country. Where the energized base kicks in is in money raised and getting out the vote in November.
