Big oops: I meant that the source was “The New Republic” (not National Review)!

The choice of Sarah Palin for VP has turned out to be not only a wise choice, but a stroke of genius. Not only has McCain managed to rally the reulctant conservative base to his side, but his choice has caused the DemocRAT Party and its MSM allies to show their ugly true nature to the American people in a way they never have before. The attacks on Sarah Palin are backfiring in all directions.

As I said in a previous posting, I think the tide has turned. We could actually win this thing!

Lots of undecideds in MI and WI - they’ve got to be breaking for McCain ...

They are trying to calm the N0bamamaniacs. They don’t want them to suicide out before Nov 4th.

Now subtract the “Bradly factor” numbers from the chosen ones side and we have a McCain landslide.

The TNR is engaging in wishful thinking... I think the stats in OK and NC are indicative of a trend. McCain will lock up Red States and the Purple States will be up for grabs. Its not the playing field Obama wants because he has to play defense knowing his rival can go out and pluck the hanging fruits.

When does a bounce become a surge?

It already is a surge.... its not your traditional bounce. It reminds me of how G.H.W Bush overcame a 15 point Dukakis lead to take a lead he kept through the election. If this is such a bounce, the MSM wouldn't be so dismissive of the polls now.

Obama, however, retains a lead in the electoral college projection, as the Kerry + NM + IA + CO combination remains intact, however tenuously.

Colorado and Nevada concern me the most. If McCain takes both of those, we should win.

(As I said in a previous posting, I think the tide has turned. We could actually win this thing!)

Could you imagine having such a pick when your base HATED you? And then she actually said yes? I HATE McCain over the immigration shiit. I will hold his nuts to the fire. NO AMNESTY. I will vote for him, but...........do you think he will listen to us conservatives when in office? HELL NO! Amnesty will be bill #1.

I would say the surge starts Friday ... If the trend continues.

I would not count OK as a trend. Last election Oklahoma went dem was (I believe) 1964 LBJ. Dems don’t get much play on the national level here!
