Must be drinking MSM Kook-aid.

Who to believe ...

[machogirl]

amazing, she has more experience that the head of their ticket

i hope that the mccain group keeps up the good work they were doing prior to the nomination by firing back and some funny ads

[jennyjenny]

I think Zogby has McCain up by 2 after announcing Palin as running mate.

[Jim Noble]

Dukakis was up by 17. Carter in 1980 was up by 20.

It's over.

[Parley Baer]

Funny Fox is just reporting the one poll. Rasmussen had Barry up by 4. The latest Zogby poll has McCain/Palin up by 2.

[sd-joe]

That’s funny. Most conventions produce about a 15% jump. To just be holding his own is relatively a major loss.

[AmericaUnited]

This is a garbage poll of unregistered voters.

[Dawn531]

Headline is a little deceiving...he had the same lead a couple days in a row. His post convention bounce got stuck at 8 points. Yes he expanded it from pre-convention, but then most conventions do that no matter who the candidate.

[ought-six]

If this is true — that Obambi has an 8-point lead — why are the Dims in panic mode over the Palin pick? Why are they pulling out all stops to silence the Annenberg probe? Why are the Dims on a collective suicide watch?

[Question Liberal Authority]

Obama's really going to knock it out of the park when he gives his speech at Invesco Field.

As soon as Obama gives that speech, it's all anyone will talk about all weekend. McCain is toast.

Until Palin joined the McCain ticket, I wasn’t going to vote in this election. Now … I will be voting and it won’t be for Michelle and what’s his name. ;-)

[CounterCounterCulture]

That the media is pushing/asking this question is more evidence how manipulative the media is.

Even though Palin has more executive experience than Obama, Hillary, and Biden combined, did the media ask this question about their qualifications? Hardly.

[editor-surveyor]

What ‘voters?’ - the Drive-bys are too busy to vote ;o)

[Signalman]

I guess Ms. Page hasn’t seen the latest Zogby Poll.

[himno hero]

Palin’s age, experience and performance exceed the oppositions chief.

what they market is THEIR hype

I love that expression... we can take Madeline from behind the barn, put her in a wig, give her lipstick, rouge, parfume, hose, skirt and high heels .... but at the end of the day we know its just Madeline

Anyone can sugar coat anything

[TomasUSMC]

UTICA, New York - Republican John McCain’s surprise announcement Friday of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate - some 16 hours after Democrat Barack Obama’s historic speech accepting his party’s presidential nomination - has possibly stunted any Obama convention bump, the latest Zogby Interactive flash poll of the race shows.

The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.

[tobyhill]

This poll was taken Wed. through Friday and mostly through the Rat festival and less than a day after McCain announces Palin.
By the end of next week it will be basically tied if it isn't already.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Compare her background to that of President Grover Cleveland.

— Elected Sheriff of Erie Co., NY, in 1870 for a 4-year term. Goes back into private law practice at the end of the term.

— 1881, elected as mayor of Buffalo

— 1882, elected as governor of New York

— 1884, elected to the presidency

Democrats should just shut up about Palin’s “Grover Cleveland” problem...

[Republican Wildcat]

People not knowing whether or not she is qualified and deciding she definitely isn’t are two different things. Another editorialized article parading as news.

Palin has a history of success defeating and proving wrong those who have underestimated her.
