Bullsh1t doesn't bounce, it splats.

It is incredible, but the designation of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate seems to have totally obliterated Barack Obama's bounce from his convention and after his magnificent speech. Zogby actually has McCain two ahead and Rasmussen's Friday only data shows Obama only three up!
This confirms what we have suspected -- that the linkage of McCain and Bush was the weak link in Obama's convention. By showing how different he is and by taking the step of choosing an independent, outspoken, gutsy, reformist candidate like Palin as vice president, McCain has shown how much he is the un-Bush. Bush chose Cheney. McCain chose Palin. That, apparently, says it all.
Palin, who I know personally, is articulate and very bright. She has courage and defied the entire corrupt Republican establishment in Alaska, causing the resignation of the State Party Chairman, the Attorney General, and the defeat, in a Republican primary, of the Governor (whose daughter is the Senator). She is very impressive up close and has a freshness and newness in her perspective that reminds one of a cold, bracing, clear Alaskan wind!

yuk! yuk! yuk!
I thought the descriptor of "articulate" was only assigned to black males. Another shattering of a stereotype!

The bounce should have appeared immediately after the convention. It did not and I don’t think the lack of bounce was due to McCain’s choice of a running mate.
WTF?
That vomit scene in Team America World Police was one of the funniest damn things I ever saw. The character just kept puking and puking. I fell down on the floor laughing.
You mean, the speech about hope, change, a better America? What we should hope for, what will change, and how American will be better is LEFT up to the imagination. Empty rhetoric from a server of platitudes.
Well, the traditional Democratic cheating at the polls will be in overdrive this year.
Must have been a different speech than the one the rest of us saw.
McCain's selection of Palin was nothing short of magnificent. She is more than a breath of fresh air, she represents a new, bold future for the Republican party. I predict Sarah Palin will be the first female POTUS - in 2012.
I didn’t watch the “magnificent speech”. I read much of the transcript. Most of it was simply BS. Why doesn’t that matter?
“Nullifies” my butt, she buried him in a deep hole! Where all Marxists belong.
Palin bump.
McCain you magnificent bastard!
As bad as the language and puppet sex was, Team America is one of the funniest movies of all time..Right up there with Airplane and Blazing Saddles.
PETA ought to be all over him for as many dead cats as he’s tried to bounce.
I did not see the speech. When I saw the stage I decided that I could not handle it. I figured it would be the same old pablum. As for Sarah Palin, the effect has been rather electric. As expected, they already had some attacks on her in their vest pocket. But many PUMAs are saying they will vote for her. We’ll see if they are serious or if they drift back to Obama. If McCain wins, she might well be able to run in 2012, which is why I think the Dems will go all out to destroy her.
