Anyone wanna start guessing at what the spin will be?
I predict that they'll claim that people have been paying more attention to this election, so they didn't need the convention to get to know Kerry.
(yes, I know that there are many factual problems with that claim- that won't stop them)
They'll say that the poll was done over the weekend so more Republicans were polled than Democrats because the Repubs were answering the polster's calls on their cellphones while hanging out on their yachts. The Dems, on the other hand were hard at work getting triple overtime slave wages working for their evil Republican corporate masters and could not respond to the polsters phone calls.
Add to that a simultaneous claim that the electorate still needs to be introduced to Kerry, and you'll have tomorrow's DNC/NY Times talking points.
Well, they'll start dredging up voters ... off to the homeless shelter to drag them down to the voting booth.
I think the DNC will now say that America hasn't really gotten to know John Kerry yet and that they'll get that introduction during the debates.
