>McCAin needs a MASSIVE lead to counter media bias and fraud.

The more over the top the media gets, the more we’ll be on top. “Normal” people started to really catch on after they went after Palin. I think a lot of women thought “Imagine if it was me in her place, geez!”

It will be interesting to see what the Democratic candidates do in this situation.

What’s with the weird music on Obama’s commercials from 1950’s-era hygiene movies? After trying to tie McCain to President Bush (which is a laughable effort), I keep waiting for a geeky guy in a white lab coat to come on and say “better living through chemistry and Obama”. LOL.

Maybe that’s the sound of panic. . . after all, it’s the kind of music that Obamaphiles probably think grown-ups listen to, ha!

It just came out. Seems it’s not as bad as everyone was making it out to be. It’s the NYT article that is on the FR front page right now. I’m going to NYT to check it out.

The is one election I would NOT be voting an absentee ballot.

I’m not certain of the historical average.

I’m pretty sure Bush got a double digit bounce, and Kerry far less then that. But then Kerry had no charisma and their entire convention was very awkwardly put together. The Gop convention in 2004 was one of the best managed in my memory. IMO, this year’s GOP convention wasn’t as well managed but the addition of Sarah to the ticket made up for that so it wasn’t as noticeable.

In this election everyone was citing a 10%-15% bounce was expected for Obama, and he ended up probably with an averaged 6% bounce. He underperformed.

I think Republicans were counting on anything from a 6%-10% bounce this election. Early signs are that they got it.

This polling, pundits saying worse is to come, and the Dems own INTERNAL POLLING, which HAS to be worse than this, explains why the NEW YORK TIMES hit piece about Palin and the baby is coming out Tommorrow.

They KNOW tthe MESSIAH is toast unless they can counter THE PALIN EFFECT, right now. And Soros has invested TOO MUCH MONEY in making sure a Democrat can Destroy America to stop now!!

Obama is in deep trouble. His covention message was “McCain is the third term of Bush” and “hope and change and it is not sticking or resonating.

And what's more, any time he says he'll "fight for you," everybody snickers.

Based on the personal anecdotes I've heard in the last week, I'd find anything less had to believe.

I noticed that, too...

The TOUGHT POLICE BRIGADES over thier have been leaping on ANYONE who dares to say Obama is anything but the 2nd coming of the liberal christ, so I’m SURE everyone is AFRAID to post it, for fear of the backlash.

Suppression of Free Speech on a sight that supposedly supports “liberal freedoms”. Who’d a thunk it!!

The polls are great right now.

BUT, let’s not Obama’s “Muslim Faith” strategy to reverse the trend LOL.

NYT is not a hit piece. Looks like pure fluff.

Remember if NYT goes off the deep end and comes up short, Murdoch will buy them for a song ...
