McCain is down because the Dems just had a convention. He’s only down 5 because the Palin announcement blunted the bounce. Now we’re having our convention and we’ll get a bounce. It should be pretty close to even after the dust settles, and then McCain can start taking Osama Obama apart, piece by terrorist-communist-racist-linked piece.
I’ve been getting this terrible gut feeling when Clinton was ahead of President Bush and Bush never caught up or that gut feeling when W DUI was released a week from the election. GOD I pray I’m totally wrong. PLEASE HELP US LORD counter their EVIL SCHEMES!
The Palin selection may have caused a slight drop, but it’s done wonders in firing up the passions of conservatives. No other pick (at least none of the more notable ones: Romney, Pawlenty, or Lieberman) could have had this much of a positive effect on the core conservatives.
Just how this translates in other numbers remains to be seen- but the selection of Palin has an upside like no other one did. Her speech tonight, and her performance in the debate will be critical.
Oh, good grief. Perhaps others around here are buying your nonsense, but not me. LLORT!
The “attacks” on Sarah Palin will turn into puffs of smoke and dust, as they are directed more by emotion than by any substantiated fact.
The “sisterhood” of the leftist feminists has had a hand grenade thrown in their midst, and they think they can shout it to death, having neither the wit nor presence of mind to pick it up and toss it away. They have devoted their efforts to denying the hand greande exists, that Sarah Palin is an anomaly, and cannot possibly be real.
They cannot help themselves, and they are compelled to say these things for public consumption by the groupthink mentality held by so many on the left. But inside, there is building a little pocket of superheated steam, which may or may not explode once they get into the secrecy of the voting booth.
This “feminine mystique” finally has become a knife that can cut both ways.
Don’t you think he would have had to answer attacks no matter who he chose?
