FWIW Blogging Caesar says:

President:  Polls were hard to come by this weekend.  Other than the tracking polls from Rasmussen and Gallup, only a poll from CNN was released.  The announcement of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate seems to be muting only slightly a pretty good bounce for Barack Obama coming off his acceptance speech on Thursday night.  Immediately after the speech, Gallup showed him forging ahead to an eight-point lead, and Rasmussen had him 4 points up.  By yesterday, the margins had fallen to six and three points, respectively.  However, with the GOP convention (and hurricane Gustav) bearing down on us, we could see another toss-up situation by the end of the week.

It ALL comes down to Colorado, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia for McCain. If he can hold all four of them, he will be the next POTUS. If he loses even one, it will be tough to overcome.

Polls in those states have been mixed, but they are traditional GOP states, and Palin has helped shore up the base quite a bit. Obama is a slight favorite at this point, but if McCain keeps running a strong campaign, he can most definitely win it.

Brit Hume made discussion over the fact that Obama starts this week LOWER than his convention start.

I think the reason polls are hard to come by is that the polls are not being released. They are too good for republicans.

The media censors by omission.

Remember you had reporters at CNN and MSNBC CHEERING OPENLY at the Obama Barakopolis. They have every reason to not make public momentum favoring republicans.
