Interesting times. Let’s carefully watch the Obama camp for signs of panic this week.

Actually, there's a great old Steeley Dan song that fits really well, too: "Change of the Guard."

"If you listen, you can hear it.
It's the laughter in the street.
Its the motion in the music,
and the fire beneath your feet.
All the signs are right this time.
You don't have to try so very hard.
If you live in this world,
Youre feelin the change of the guard!

The Gallup poll is a separate poll. It appears the poll here is one done by Gallup in conjunction with USA Today. Plus the Daily Poll from today does not include Sunday, the USA Today poll does.

Gallup’s Daily poll tomorrow should show a big jump for McCain as well.

Screw Heart, the soundtrack for this news is Chicago’s “Beginnings”!

Talk about Premature Barackulation.

Shooting your load too early and ending up with a mess.

Totally perfect description of Obama’s campaign.

That song is such an obvious and blatant rip-off of Warren Zevon's Warewolves of London.

Oh I wish I could remember who said it back before the convention began but...they said McCain might get a slight bump but...if we’re talking about 10 points or so...that’s a LOT. Just can’t remembr what show it was. Anyone else see or hear it? Just curious. Seems like this is a big bump to me.

Let’s not get comfy here - Vote fraud will be huge this year. There is a large group of people totally invested in Obama.

Obama's campaign was largely based on his being a new and interesting face. But that only lasts until another new and interesting face comes along.

And Palin has pushed the "new and interesting face" standard through the roof. And I don't think it's just because she's good looking and has about 60 million guys thinkin' "o--o-h that Todd Palin did good."

She's interesting and surprising on so many levels, she makes Obama look like a chunk of cardboard.

MELTDOWN in DU/KOS/DEM Land !

You can just tell how Obama and his folks are acting the last few days that things are not going well.

They are basically flailing away, throwing mud everywhere, hoping something will stick. No plan or strategy from what I can see.

Obama has been exposed for the empty suit he is.

Now McCain needs to hit him hard with all the stuff they have been saving. When Americans here about Obama’s support for infanticide, they will leave him in droves. Ayers, Wright, Rezko, etc. All will come out.

This is a critical week for McCain and Palin. Obama is definitely knocked back and on the ropes. If they keep up the pressure, Obama or Michelle will loose it in some public forum or interview.

Still possible Obama could be dumped for Hillary.

Don’t forget the absentee ballot fraud.

Then there is also the provisional ballot fraud.

The other issue is crossing the borders of states to vote more than once.

Remember in 2006 there were 30,000 NY voters registered AND VOTING in both NY and FL.

Also don’t forget the homeless shelters that have strategicly appeared and registered voters.

“And we have to be ready for a couple of Budd Dwyer moments in the Main Stream Media. they are flipped out of their minds.”

Only we aging Pennsylvanians got it, but you’re right - it was bad enough on Wed. night and Thursday, but this will put them over the top.

I looked into Obamas eyes on O’Reilly Thursday night.

I think he knows he is beat. deep down.

I know that look. That is the kind of look a Cleveland Sports Fan gets when their team is in the playoffs.

I’m pretty sure the diff is between ‘registered’ and ‘likely’ voters.

The bigger spread is with likely voters.
