I think some of the Hillary fans liked how Palin stalked, shot, field dressed and taxidermied Obama in her speech.

BS. The Palin surge is due to lots of demographics, not just white women.

I guess now we know how the speeches played outside the hall, huh?

Andrea Mitchell might think they are “uneducated” but they sure do know what is best for America. I’d call that pretty damn sharp.

I question the polls. I honestly believe McCain/Palin are doing better than that

OBambi / OBiden ahead in poll....its the special sauce.

[hinckley buzzard]

The most surprising results -- and surely the most disturbing for the freshman Illinois senator's camp -- are the immense gains McCain has made among white women

THis is highly satisfying not only because it hits Obama in his wheelhouse but also it slaps down the snarky smirkfaced female media a-holes who, despite their self-appointed superiority, have acted like tawdry fishwives-- and displayed the truth of Kipling's observation that "the colonel's lady/ and Rosie O'Grady are sisters under the skin..."

There has got to be a political cartoon of that ..

Morris on tv today said that the old models of “likely voters” don’t mean much this year because of the age distribution of the voters’ preferences, with the young going to Obama and the older people to McCain; he said that there is no way to gauge what that young-people turnout will be. I hope that doesn’t mean that the historical spread between registered voters and likely voters is in danger, b/c there are heck of a lot more registered voters (mostly Obama-niks) who don’t vote than likely voters who don’t vote and that turnout might be a key to the election.

The surge is successful beyond our wildest dreams.

I strongly maintain, it is not liberal women who are freaking out about Governor Palin. They sort of like the idea.

It’s liberal gay guys. The type who are journalists in New York, and who write for liberal publications.

They’re (completely) freaking out, because they’ve always counted on having their “sisters” as allies. Fighting against Male Chauvanist straight guys.

Well. That alliance is out quickly, flying right out the window.

That’s the panic you’re seeing.

It’s not women. It’s liberal guys...

Remember that the polls for the Reagan/Bush election showed, the night before the election, that they were going to lose 2 to 1.

The 2 to 1 loss part was right - but it was the dems who got trounced.

Ever since then, I've taken the polls with a large grain of Kosher salt.

In the lovefest for Palin that's been going on, I've seen little written about what I think is the other major reason for the bump. Of course, who's going to tell people about it, Andrea Mitchell and Olbermind?

The most successful part of the convention was that Obama's lack of experience is now on people's minds. I think before people who were mesmerized by his "charisma" (invisible to me) just ASSUMED someone running for the presidency had the credentials.

When they actually LOOKED, I think many undecideds were shocked by what they found.
