1. Is this post Hockey Mom rant?

[Mz Pip]

2. Before the rant.

Tomorrow and this weekend will be interesting.

Tonight we get POW POW POW. I'm surprised they aren't building a cage for McCain to address the audience from.

19. They are building a new stage - but I doubt it will be a replica of his cell

[Bob Dobbs]

3. No. That should put Barak far over 50%.

Thanks for the help, republic party.

[RedSpartan]

5. No

This is from a three-day sampling mostly prior to last night. I don't think we'll really see any effect of Palin or the GOP convention until early next week, after people have had the weekend to digest. (Or puke, as the case may be.)

4. +20 EVs since the beginning of the pukes' show of blatant lies.

13. I was looking at the map on that link. It is very exciting

waved my mouse over Texas:
Obama 41
McCain 50
9 points difference which for Dems in Texas is HUGH!!11,
last week it was 10 points...
also 41+50= 91 which means 9% either undecided or RonPaul/BobBarr.

Florida
Obama 45
McCain 46
total 91

dead heat, with 9% undecided or independent

every one of those barely GOP states has from 8 to 10 % either independent/undecided.

I rather like this map.

and we don't know how they are getting their data...again I think the great un land lined masses out there who are mostly YOUNG are not being polled at all.

25. Good point.

Those who rely on cell phones only are not being counted. This race is more in our favor than the MSM will know until election night.

6. I was hoping Obama

would get the bounce. But your right. Too early for post speech numbers.

[rocktivity]

7. Right--as in correct, not wing

This weekend's polls, reflecting Palin and McCain's speeches, will be the proof of the pudding.

8. McCain looked like

Goldwater said he did when handed the internal polling(in those days) that said the election was lost bigtime no matter what. "Why am I even bothering to go on?" or something like that. And soldier on bravely he did.

This is another polling set up to deceive. ANY immediate bounce will be used to try to pump up the GOP ticket and this one is too soon to show anything, as was the case during the Dem Convention. Expect a lot of quiet if they tank.

9. I have a theory

...which is not my own: not many people are watching the RNC, and both parties are about 80% decided on their respective candidates. The next round of polls shouldn't move much. Those who tuned in yesterday just to see Palin were unimpressed. Yeah, we all learned how to throw out insults in grade school, lady. You took 2 days off from introducing yourself to America and that's all you got? Booooo.

10. All the Palin stuff is just a distraction from this:

11. I agree. Follow the Cheney.

Although Palin is scary in her own right, but Cheney is the money move.

[bdamomma]

12. is Cheney stirring the pot for the October surprise.

alot of oil in that region too.

16. And?

What's your point, Sparky?

[UtopiaPoet]

18. And?

...and I'll bet you didn't know that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. I'll betcha I did

Obama has been talking about the fact that his mother was a teen mother since his first book.

In fact, you rightwing morons previously accused Obama of lying when he said his mother was a teenager when he was born.

So what's the difference?

[RedSpartan]

22. Well, yes we did.

Since Obama mentioned the other day that his mother gave birth to him when she was 18. Not a stretch to figure she might have gotten pregnant at 17.

Still, if you're comparing her to Bristol Palin, you're off just a bit. She's 17 now. She got pregnant five months ago, when she was 16.

In any case, none of this is relevant.

I'm glad that Obama's mother chose to give birth to him. I'm glad that Governor Palin chose to have her child knowing he was afflicted with Down's Syndrome. And I'm glad that Bristol has chosen to have her child despite being rather young. What is relevant is this: I'm glad they had a choice; a choice which, if Governor Palin had her way, would be taken away from the rest of the women in America.

[Zynx]

24. Most of us don't give a shit about Bristol Palin.

[Curtland1015]

17. Yeah... and?

There's nothing wrong with that.

[tanyev]

26. *gasp* Then I am not going to vote for her!

[ailsagirl]

15. WAIT-- poll taken BEFORE dragon lady's speech

http://www.gallup.com/tag/Election%2b2008.aspx

"...in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking results, which reflect the impact of the initial events of the Republican convention through early Wednesday, but not Sarah Palin’s highly-anticipated speech Wednesday evening....

[faulknercindy]

21. The thing they just cannot seem to grasp is that

if they make this a culture morals blah blah blah thing they will loose big time ( they are going to loose check the projected delegate count and watch were they are making McDork spend money)

[Bette Noir]

23. I want to see a landslide for Obama.

Show them once and for all that We the People are sick of their show.
