Reply #16: Just a note about Gallup--Headline news emphasized that

while Bush has 52 now he only had 50 BEFORE the convention. I know that people here know that by now but it was the first it really sank into me when I heard it about an hour ago. Indeed, just like even Bob Barr predicted, they would both get about the same bounce out of their conventions. I noted that on Lou Dobbs tonight the woman guest host was spewing the 11 point Newsweek and Time polls---this really shits me off. Also, I said in another post that I thought there was something awfully wrong when the ratings said that they had only 2 million more watch the RNC than the DNC.....they were like 20 million and 22 million (not a lot of people, period). You don't get that kind of a magic bounce from just 2 million more watching.
