Via Guy Benson, no self-respecting eeyore would leave a headline as rosy as the above unchecked, so here’s me checking it right off the bat. According to Gallup’s tracker, Romney’s gotten almost no bounce from the Ryan pick — yet. They’ve seen a bit of movement in the last two days, so there may be a “delayed bounce” coming, but little in the two days before that. In fact, here’s Nate Silver scanning across the dial:

Romney's Ryan bounce across 11 polls thus far: +5, +5, +2, +2, +2, 0, 0, 0, -2, -2, -2. So, take your pick. +0.9 on average.

Excellent! After four years of socialist Obama we are all due some much needed R&R!

Seems like there’s been a bunch of articles on polling today. Thankfully, most look like decent-to-good news.

One more swing state, and that’s it for Obama.

Romney/Ryan need to lock down these states and maximize the amount of defense Obama has to pour into other states.

Nate Silver is a Commie leftist who will never admit anything that favors the GOP.

Romney and Ryan need to be shown together as much as possible.

The two together excude competence, health, vitality, etc.

What Rummnie and Ryan NEED to do is go on the offense about what Obamacare is going to do to this Republic. They need to attack the Senior that Obamacare CUTS $750 BILLION FROM MEDICARE!!! And that this is going to seriously impact seniors. No operations, give you a pill and let you die. English medicine. They need to show how the many foreign and military related mistakes he has made that has cost lives of our troops and other civilian deaths by Gitmo releasees, the Soviet sub in the Gulf undetected for nearly a MONTH!!! Can you say screwed if a Soviet attack sub can come in a dump a few dozen nukes on the nation. No miss from there. They have to attack now and keep it up. GIVE NO QUARTER!!!

Polls, shmoles. The contest is over when a prominent Dem has a Wellstone moment. Disheartening polls can help them get there by frightening them, but until somebody major wigs out on Prime Time non-cable TV, it’s not a done deal.

Now, finally, can the media quit crying over Portman?

[KansasGirl]

Totally agree.

The contest is over when a prominent Dem has a Wellstone moment.

It's over when Mitt Romney takes the oath of office. Until then, put nothing past the Liberal Messiah and His minions. There was a shooting today at the Family Research Council. Do you think it's too much for them to threaten the Electors (as in the Electoral College) or to attack the Republican Convention? Remember Chief Justice Roberts.

[Alas Babylon!]

Read this and be happy. They're doing it and then some!

Republicans Go on Medicare Offensive - “fully engage and lean into this fight”

He’s gonna need at least a 10 point advantage to overcome the fraud vote.

Just sayin.

[RetiredArmy]

Thanks, good stuff.

November, hurry up and get here.

I want this commie gone.

Portman is my Senator, and I’m not unhappy that he wasn’t chosen as VP. He can do more and be more effective in the Senate.

I was polled again today by a group who called themselves Independent Political Research. ( I think that was their name - they gave a toll free number if I wanted to check them out).

I, of course, voted straight Republican to their questions. It was a computer call - no one live on the other end.
