Uhmmm. Were you perhaps wrapped in cloth like a mummy and stuffed in a closet only to be let out this morning?
The "announcement" left many people thinking McCain did not know and many media members are trying to say this lacks good judgment. It will take awhile to dispel beliefs that this.
OMG, it too nearly 4 days for the DNC bounce to show up in the polls, but you think the pregnancy anouncement on a HOLIDAY weekend swung polls instantly?
You are certifiable if you think that.
Next week by tuesday we’ll know the state of the race at this point, the RNC convention will be over, and the bounce from that will be showing up in the polling.
Until then all you can say about the polling since thursday is the DNC convention gave Fauxbama a small bounce, which is to be expected. To write anything more into the numbers than that is insanity.
I don’t know what you were doing this holiday weekend, but most folks I know weren’t sitting around answering pollers questions.
