I agree, it is more than a bounce, it is a shift.

Do you really think it’s a shift and not a bounce?
I hope so.
I wonder why Rasmussen has them so close still.

I tend to agree. What happened at the convention was a rebranding. The voters apparently like the new brand. That's different that the typical convention where the voters hear good things about someone for a few days and then forget.

Well' see.

I think it's simply too early to say whether it's a bounce or a strategic shift in the race. It hasn't even been one week since Palin gave her speech at the convention.

It was not clear late Tuesday whether the lipstick spat would garner much attention...

I think the Obamessiah's press conference this morning answered that question. :-)

...but the exchange demonstrated the challenges facing Obama as the McCain camp tries to squeeze every possible advantage out of the Palin candidacy. Some Democrats are eager for Obama to be even harder on Palin.

By all means, yes!!!!
