BTW, folks, I really don’t get the concept of the “bounce”.
Is the American voter so shallow that they will suddenly decide to vote for Obama after Michelle’s and Bill’s speeches?
In this election, I think most voters have made up their minds. Obama’s entire presidency has been one big campaign. You either like the guy, or you don’t.
No way!!! The Michelle “Black Racist/America Hater” Obama & the William Jefferson Clinton speeches are already forgotten. and...the POTUS Obama speech will be forgotten, the second he concludes delivering it!!! Shucks, the NY Giants & Dallas Cowboys football game last night wiped out the TV audience for the Clinton farce speech!!!
My guess is that bounces revolve around the 10% of the electorate that is either socially liberal and economically conservative or economically liberal and socially conservative. RINO's and DINO's changing who they support depending how on much compromise they can take on either social or economic issues.

Yes.
A knee-jerk reaction to financial news put Obama over the top in 2008; American voters are both shallow and ignorant.
In the past, it's been about getting people involved who have not been involved and changing minds of those who were on the fence and even of some who had been in opposition.
That isn't working this time because no one is watching. I understand last night (Wednesday) they had only about 10 million watch on all channels combined. They probably had a ton of drop-outs, too, since Clinton droned on nearly until midnight.
So, the old idea that the conventions are when people suddenly get involved is no longer true. "Conventional" wisdom has changed.
It will probably be the debates that get people involved this time around.
And, of course, there are the sitcoms, talk shows, latenight, comedy centrals, SNLs, even sports commentators, etc., that are all campaign ads for the liberal -- Obama -- throughout the election season.
The liberals believe they can take down anyone if they put on a full-court media press.
I believe that has become their strategy.
My solution?
At least some of the challenger's ads are going to have to make people laugh out loud when they view them. (And they have to be laughing at Obama or some foolishness related to Obama.)

A few videos like this have convinced me that the intellectual depth of the average dimmicrat voter can only be measured with the aid of nanotechnology. Does one micron sound about right? Seriously these people are as unacquainted with reality as it is possible to be and still remain above room temperature. Those who have a two digit IQ are ignorant, ill informed and goofy. Those who have a triple digit IQ are worse!
