McCain Sees 17-Point Surge In USA Today Poll
The Royal Savage ^ | 9/8/2008 | Holden Des Montsverts

Posted on 09/07/2008 8:34:47 PM PDT by Yankee Sailor

The USA Today/Gallup poll completed on September 7 has the McCain/Palin ticket holding a 10 point lead over Obama/Biden.

[Polling data can be found in original post]

This represents the first time McCain has led Obama by a double-digit margin since january, 2007. It also represents a 17 point swing in McCain's favor since the last USAT/Gallup poll completed on August 31 and the first time McCain has led Obama in the RealClearPolitics average since April.

Expect the panic in the Obama camp to spread accordingly.

As Hugh Hewitt says, “If it’s not close, they can’t cheat.”

Expect they’re already scouring the obits and registering the corpses.

I’m wondering if he’s going to even open his mouth.

That would be a first if Biden's mouth wasn't agape the whole debate.

Maybe Obama can go run for office in Europe after McPalin bounces his azz this Fall.

"McCain, you magnificent bastard! I especially liked how you got the enemy to blow itself all to hell in ten days. Nice going, soldier!"

"Does anybody rmember which FR thread first broke the news of the Palin selection? It would be fun to read. :-) "

Some FReepers found a charter flight schedule showing a plane going from Alaska to Middleton, Ohio just outside of Dayton, Ohio and the speculation began that it was Sarah Palin. This was the night before McCain announced her. We all had a blast like kids at Christmas hoping it was Sarah.

Do a search on FR for Dayton, Ohio, etc...

I hope Palin doesn't spend too much time in AK. Remember the support and enthusiasm is mostly for her. McCain, on his own, could squander this in a week.

What about a NYT headline claiming that this new baby is a member of the John Birch Society?

There were numerous simultaneous ones, along with threads still running about the wrong nominees (Pawlenty; Romney, etc.)

They are in shock that a non-elites (outsider) could throw the polls this way.

They are convinced that this makes the US look like a joke.

I say, this is what makes America America. Anyone can grow up to President, you just need to have values and get involved.

God Bless John McCain for choosing her.

Actually, it wasn't broken on FR. It was broken on this blog: http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/. Some FReepers copied it and ran with it.

He needs to get to Kenya, Quick, Take his Brother on the Plane with him and sneak him into the country.

That is worth 10 points.

“The democratic party ATTACK MACHINE will just have to ratch things up!!! Expect more vicious personal attacks on Sarah and her family!”

Yes! That’s the ticket. The attacks just need to be more vicious and irrational. They’ve been much too subtle for the flyover losers to ‘get’.

Biden quitting now would be suicide. The logical conclusion everyone would come to is that if Obama doesn’t even know how to pick a running mate...

Heh...I came to that conclusion two weeks ago.
