Watched a Fox analysis this morning and the analysis was that the polls are all moving in the McCain/Palin way.
Neutral analysts will look back and see Obama’s failure to even pretend to vet and consider Hillary for veep to be the key tactical error by Obama. Combine that with McCain’s key tactical success in picking Palin, and you have an amazing turnaround in the course of just two weeks, beyond the normal bounce/counter-bounce between the two conventions.
Tomorrow’s poll will be even better. It will be the first poll in which all people were polled after the GOP convention.
I imagine we’ll break 50% by mid-week.
Gee, I wonder if this will be posted as a graphic on all the news broadcasts like it was when Obamanation was up by 8?
Live by polls, die by polls, damn polls.
Does not matter what the polls say IMHO.
We should consider this election as our side being 10 points down and fight as hard as we possibly can.
They do a three day tracking poll. So this poll includes saturday, friday and thursday polling which of course 1/3 of this poll does not include reaction to MaCain speech. Plus there is a theory which says that weekend polls favors dems since republicans are richer and have bigger families and they are out doing errands and maybe traveling so they are not home to be polled. Tomorrow’s and tuesday polls will be a better indication of the effects of any Palin Bounce (hey that should the name of a new dance).
LOL - Maybe Obama should send Hillary to her home state instead of Florida.

The hard work starts now. But McCain is going into the home stretch with the polling lead and a unified and motivated base. NO ONE would have predicted that two weeks ago.
Oh wow, I don’t see a distress signal. Does Hillary even know what a joke she is?
