Please, could someone come up with a nice talking point to counter the "under ethics investigation" BS????
How's this:
"If your state trooper brother-in-law in law threatened to kill your father and shot his own son with a taser....wouldn't you tell his boss too?"

"Probably because the two events created equal and opposite bounces assuming that either one created a bounce at all," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.Or perhaps because our bounce is just starting.

He also illegally shot moose, allegedly.

I hope so. But with women there is always the “Envy Factor”. Its interesting Palin increased the male support for McCain.

These are the weighted Rat polls. When those don’t work for the Rats considering the margin of error, they know it’s trouble.
Call it the Sarah Palin affect. And my FRiends, it’s only beginning. It will take hold and cause a shrieking and gnashing of teeth you haven’t seen since Biblical accounts.
But this will be coming from the media/Rat surrogates.
May they tumble into hell, figuratively speaking of course. :)

What about Obama’s awesome line about McCain not wanting to follow Bin Laden to his cave? I thought that would have been good for 40 point boost. Oh well.
To: LdSentinal
The two most unreliable polls (CNN and Zogby) have the race tied while Ras and Gallup have Hussein O up. Hopefully the broken clock is right.

Half the convention was about Women's rights. Michelle yammered on about it and so did Hillary. 1/4 of the convention was Bill Clinton talking about himself. The other 1/4 of the convention was Obama talking about change.
So what does McCain do? Comes up with a veep that's real change and springboards off the women's rights stuff. It's like 3/4 of the Dem convention was a prelude to the pick of Sarah Palin.
McCain is some sort of misunderestimated political judo master lately. He uses his opponent's strengths against the opponent and emerges relatively unscathed.
To: LdSentinal
Let's hope this weakness for the Prez ticket begins to be a drag on the Dem congressional races also.

Palin and Gustav made everyone forget the convention. Not that Obama’s speech was particularly memorable, either.

Gallup is a rolling average. Monday will be the first poll that only includes days after the convention and Palin pick. Obama also seems to get a slight boost from weekends. I’d wait until Wed or Thurs to get a good view from Gallup.

This new McCain team is bloody murder on Obama. Mucho applause.
Thank Steve Schmidt and team. These are some solid professionals!
Kick Obamamination ass!
Sara Palin is completely awesome. Just let the crowd’s applause lines linger before continuing to speak and lower the voice an octave. Thanks.

Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain are in a virtual tie, according to the latest poll.
Just wait till next week....the bounce from Sarah’s announcement hasn’t even started yet and the convention
is still to come!

unreliable polls. hehe lemme tell you something. All of these polls are created news stories. The only real poll is election day but when people see McCain doing not too shabby in the polls, they will think supporting him is worth their while.

Problems like that don't happen to Joe Biden.

McCain is not having a bounce, he is having a surge. Obama is having a fade.
