It lost its stride during Operation Chaos.
I think you’re right on that one. Obama limped across the finish line with Hillary nipping at his heals. I think once people got to see and hear Palin and McCain, they found a reason to move away from undecided to McCain, and think most will stay there. Why?
Because Obama is played out, and every compliment in the world has been used to describe the new “messiah” in the media. If people aren’t sold on him by now, then I’m not sure there is much left Obama can say to convince them.
The convention allowed people to hear McCain’s message and story, and along with the electrifying Palin pick, it really moved people firmly to McCain’s side.
I know some state polls are too close for comfort, but I think we will pull it out in the end.
