This is great news for McCain. Biden is worth 0.5% to the ticket.
McCain’s people are running a masterful campaign since the new Team took the reins.
Obama is getting pulverized. And the Rats can do nothing but watch the cold waters approach as the ship is sinking.
(The Clintons are working furiously below sea level to make more holes in the boat.) It’s already public that Shrillary’s people are LEAVING the convention before it ends and before the Obamanation speaks.
That says everything you wannna know. The media won’t be able to keep that out of the public sphere no matter how much they desperately pump up their socialist hero.
Yet the useful idiots keep voting for them.
They still give Obama a 61% chance of winning? Based on what?

I hope you are right. If we get through this election cycle with a win I really hope we start playing offense for once. From energy to education to health care we need to define solutions that are rooted in the freedom of ideas and commerce. The democrats have been allowed to set the tone on many of these issues, and responses to them have been defensive. Let's come up with free-market solutions and push them.
The more people see of McCain, the more they like. The more people see of Barry, the less they like. Obama is goin’ down.
He might get points for polling well over the past several months. I found it odd that more people look favorably on McCain than Obama, and yet they’re tied, even when leaners are factored in. There are some problems with these polls.
We can hope the Dems do as well as they did in ‘04 when Kerry actually lost ground after his convention. I suspect Obama will get a small boost though, at least. How can he not, when they try to paint him as another Jesus for crying out loud.
I guess we can be encouraged by the fact that at the end of his convention, Dukakis was up by 17 and ended up taking only 111 electoral votes. Now Obama’s lead is nowhere near that large so it looks like he has nowhere to go but down but I would not count him out by any stretch. Looks like this will be close so McCain has to perform very well in the debates, and keep up with the hard hitting ads.
Please read it carefully. It says:
Rasmussen Markets currently gives Obama a 61.0% chance of winning the White House.
In the original article, "61.0%" links here:

The biggest changes came in Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Colorado and Oregon.
Ohio—with 20 Electoral College votes--moved from Toss-up to Leans Republican following the second straight Rasmussen Reports telephone survey that showed McCain with a modest lead over Obama.
North Carolina—with 15 Electoral College votes—moved from Leans Republican to Likely Republican. This change was based on the latest Rasmussen Reports polling and changes in the RasmussenMarkets.com data.
Wisconsin—with 10 Electoral College votes—moved from Likely Democratic to Leans Democratic. That move was prompted by the latest Rasmussen Reports polling which shows McCain closing to within four percentage points of Obama.
Colorado—with 9 Electoral College votes--moved from Leans Democratic to Toss-Up, based primarily upon the latest Rasmussen Reports poll in which McCain holds a statistically insignificant two-point lead over Obama.
Oregon—with 7 Electoral College votes—moved from Likely Democratic to Leans Democratic. While the latest Rasmussen Reports polling shows Obama with a 10-point lead, the average of other polls and a national trends adjustment places the state in the leaner category.
South Dakota—with 3 Electoral College votes--shifted from Leans Republican to Likely Republican based upon Rasmussen Markets data and a national trends adjustment.
Other states had more minor changes: Connecticut from Safely Democratic to Likely Democratic, Louisiana from Likely Republican to Safely Republican, Maine from Safely Democratic to Likely Democratic, and Tennessee from Likely Republican to Safely Republican.
Read it closely and notice that EVERY movement is positive!
In this case, it wasn't a poll. See my post #13.
I cannot remember in any convention though where the REpublicans have fought back so hard!!! Usually we are the ones that are sitting back...I like they way the tone is going....fight, fight, fight....too much at stake!!!!

What we are learning, though -- to the chagrin of the MSM - is that John McCain really wants to be president. The MSM thought he'd lie down like Bob Dole.
Frankly, I'm surprised too.
