The RNC convention will break records for viewers

You must be joking. The only way that could possibly happen would be if President Bush announced that Cheney was stepping down and that the new surprise VP candidate would be named in a prime-time speech. Aside from that, the Republican convention will have about the same viewership as the Democratic.

The Bush campaign has come out and downplayed the RNC convention bounce.

I'm not sure if this is strategery though. The same people came out before the DNC and predicted a 15% Kerry bounce after their convention. Talk about building up expectations. After hearing that number anything under it should have been deemed a failure.

By downplaying their bounce any bump up in the polls will be seen as successful.

Misinformation brilliance?
