Conventional wisdom, if you’ll pardon the pun, held that John McCain’s bounce this week came from a party that suddenly discovered enthusiasm from its base. Gallup’s internals from its daily tracking poll tell a completely different story. His bounce comes from a significant shift among independents and even some Democrats:
By contrast, Democrats’ support for McCain rose 5 percentage points over the GOP convention period, from 9% to 14%, while Republicans’ already-high support stayed about the same. The surge in political independents who favor McCain for president marks the first time since Gallup began tracking voters’ general-election preferences in March that a majority of independents have sided with either of the two major-party candidates. Prior to now, McCain had received no better than 48% of the independent vote and Obama no better than 46%, making the race for the political middle highly competitive.John McCain’s 6 percentage-point bounce in voter support spanning the Republican National Convention is largely explained by political independents shifting to him in fairly big numbers, from 40% pre-convention to 52% post-convention in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

True, but those of us who consider ourselves...for lack of a better term “Community Organizers for McCain-Palin” need to remind each other that we can’t let up.
That’s all I’m sayin’...
She is (Ronald Reagan) in a dress/ our American “Margaret Thatcher” what’s not to like..? Get get em boys and girls: Palin/McCain Must win!
“(Question:
On election day, in the privacy of the voting booth - does Hillary pull the lever for Obama, or McCain?)”
A: She should know what the Obamists are like by now. They’ll spread the rumor she voted for McCain no matter how she votes, but I wouldn’t put it past an Obamist to actually go snooping for that information. Safest thing for her to do would be to vote Obama - and since she lives in NY she can probably do so knowing it won’t effect the outcome.
The CNN crowd tried to say only uneducated people would vote for McCain-Palin ticket...did these same “illiterates” put two of the truth exposing books about Obama on the NYT best seller list for all these weeks? I don’t see how anyone can read Obama Nation and sleep at night if they pull the Democrat lever in November.
I'm one of them.
Who cares where it is coming from?
