If the bounce doesn't recede, then wonderful! Game over. But bounces historically recede. Are you and others here prepared for that?

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.

The bounce will recede. Historically that happens. It depends on the size and half of that disappears. That's why the FR obsession with daily polling up to the election is absurd and completely uninformative.

Yes, bounces normally recede because the energy/excitement cannot be maintained over a long period of time. Palin has the potential to make things different this time because she was only introduced to America about a week ago. Many Americans still don’t know much/anything about her. As she is introduced to them over the next few weeks, she has the potential to increase her support. This is can’t happen for McCain, Obama, or Biden because they are already a known entity.
