They wont call me, they don’t like my comments!
This poll is not garbage. It is not biased. It is a measurement using a methodology largely constant over a long time.
There is some sign that Palin helped, but VPs don’t decide elections, typically. The bounce, to my recollection, looks weak for the day after a convention. That may be her doing.
We’ll know more tomorrow when the convention days start rolling off Obama’s results.
