Counting on a post-convention bounce is a dicey strategy at best. The Bush team needs to be out here on the ground and in the trenches building some momentum. A "Rose Garden" strategy isn't going to cut it. Given the relatively small percentage of undecided voters (if the polls are correct on that), convention bounces this year are going to be small and short-lived.

I agree. I tend to think there will be a very small bounce for Bush. But I can't wait to hear the speakers at the convention though. We are going to have a great convention. The days can't fly by fast enough for me.

Bush is not in the Rose Garden. He is now on a nine state tour starting in VA. He will be going to the SW and then up the west coast. I think he will be back in Iowa too. Cheney is in DSM tomorrow.
