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?

Yes, the dems downplayed the bounce for Kerry before the conv., the RNC is setting low expectations so if it is real high they can say we thought 5% and look it is 15%.
