Looking at the latest numbers at Real Clear Politics here:

You can see that McCain shaved 4 points off Obama's bounce.

According to what I read they are listed as “undeclared”

I don’t see how that can be a negative in any way since they are not running and have no say in any decisions to be made.

[Texas4ever]

AWESOME!!! A BUMBER STICKER i WANT NOW!!!

Yes, libertarians love her. CATO loves her.
Evangelicals love her too.

The only people who hate her are obama flunkies who are spitting nails at the thought of a gun-toting prolife Mom and smart cookie conservative, who dares to challenge The One for a place in making history in November.

[WOSG]

Yes, they are listed as independents.

They could be voting straight R in general elections.

OTOH, it is odd that Todd is not R just to vote for her wife in the GOP primary. Unless Alaska has open primaries anyway, in which case this is truly a nothing story.

[reformedliberal]

Once they realize the story is about a competent republican executing a well thought out plan they’ll hightail it right out of there.

Too true! Then, the donks will cry about how the media protects Republicans.

My prayer for years has been that the Marxist Left be exposed for who the truly are. God is faithful.

LOl! Good one!

[gswilder]

I don’t think Gallup has updated numbers out yet today. The data says through 8/28 which was Thursday. Looks to be the same 8 points as we saw Friday.

[Salvation]

And Catholics love her. No abortions for Sarah Palin!

[Slings and Arrows]

It’s *nice* having Republican candidates who actually know how to campaign.

[mwl8787]

yes, let Palin help carry the freight in rural and suburban PA, OH, MI, VA etc - they thought Biden was going to connect with blue-collars. He ain’t.

fyi, the MSM is covering this up, but Bishop Saltarelli, Diocese of Wilmington (DE), reaffirmed that Joe Biden is not welcome and will not be allowed to speak in any Catholic school in Delaware.

does anyone know what time the next rally is for McCain-Palin today?

[A_Niceguy_in_CA]

I have to believe there will be a substantial shift among white women towards McCain in Rasmussen Daily Tracking very soon.

White male: "I'm voting for the hot Alaskan hockey mom and the wrinkly old war hero dude".

[politicket]

They’re unregistered independents. As am I.

No they're not, they have simple registered 'Decline to State'. That doesn't mean that they're 'independents'.

Many here in Colorado register 'Decline to State' because they are much more conservative than the Republican party and don't want to be formally associated with it. However, they will always vote for a Republican candidate that espouses Godly principles.

[A_Niceguy_in_CA]

Notice the poll happy news has been avoiding poll numbers since Thursday?

Why has nobody in the MSM mentioned Obama's ONE POINT* bounce after 24-7 MSM coverage of the DNC Convention?

Rasmussen pre-convention: Obama 48% McCain 45%
Rasmussen Friday: Obama 49% McCain 45%
Rassmussen Saturday: Obama 49% McCain 45%

* ONE POINT, probably just rounding up.

All the MSM want to talk about is the flawed Gallup Poll that showed Obama up 8% on Friday.

[GLDNGUN]

I just read her hubby and son are not Republicans... discouraging.

Good grief. It's not like they are democrats. Are you just looking for something to whine about? Keep trying, because that isn't even good enough to be called weak.

[RipSawyer]

I’m beginning to think if we are not careful we could actually win this thing.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Then let us throw caution to the winds, the devil take the hindmost and all that there kind of stuff. Let the band play “North to Alaska” and CHAAAAARRRRGGG!

They’re unregistered independents. As am I.

That's fair enough. I would be too, except I want to have influence in primary elections of Illinois. Though lately, that's been an exercise in futility.

Nah. VPILF.com.
