...there's a good possibility that the libs already may have fired all the torpedoes they have.

I've been thinking the same thing, but every time I think they must have run out of ammo, they come up with another salvo of garbage to throw at her.

It appears that we haven't seen the bottom of the MSM pit yet.

I wonder what Hillary is saying to herself now.

Fortunately, Baghdad Bob is alive and well. He was captured by American forces, interrogated, then released.

He has announced that Obama/Biden will rost McCain/Palin’s stomachs in hell.

There’s an AP wire service report that Obama is preparing to open a carafe of whoopass.

That sounds like the next McCain ad to me.

Yes, I've been monitoring the DUmp thread on this topic. Some of them are tearing each other apart quite viciously. A pleasure to watch. For those with the stomache for it:

Exactly my point. It’s not the Gallup poll as the title suggests. It’s a USAToday poll.

I’m not worried about the debates. McCain knows whohe is and what he believes and can act on his feet. Obama can’t let anyone know what he really believes so he always comes off hesitant and fumbling.

This is not just a convention bounce, but also a Sarah bounce. And that won’t dissipate like convention bounces often do unless the MSM is able to damage her.

I think it’s accurate to say there has never (in modern, TV coverage years) been such a boost for a ticket because of the VP pick.

While I’m sceptical of polling in general, The RASS poll is a rolling average. Rass himself said to wait until Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for the full effect. This Gallop poll is not constructed from a rolling average so the effects likely show up sooner.

1. MSM wants to say Obama is closing (so watch the lead to close)

And then the MSM will pull Dan Rather out of mothballs to proclaim Obami "The Comeback Kid II!"

Just thinking of this gives me reflux...

So now they’ll launch all torpedoes against the Sarah-cuda!

Every one they've launched so far was installed backward.

1. The Democrats have registered many new voters during their primary who will not show up in these polls.

Those new voters probably consist of college-aged kids, WOMEN and blacks. Probably many of the women will end up voting for McCain/Palin and the kids can't be depended on to vote as evidenced by the dems trying unsuccessfully to get them to the polls every election.

Actually, if Obama drops out, the DNC can pick whomever they want. The only question is whether or not they have passed the filing deadline.

Hillary will just get some shyster NY City lawyer and judge to legally change her name to Barack Obama until Nov. 5.
