Dow closed up 400 pts today. In response to McCain’s performance last night? Hmmmmmmmm Sounds like more market confidence to me.

Many Americans are for increased taxes as long as it’s someone else who’s paying the higher taxes. Almost all Americans are against paying higher taxes themselves. Joe the Plumber is an every-man and people can relate to him. If we’re hearing about Joe the Plumber in a week, Obama loses.

Yes, but those numbers were buried. Drudge has the power to push the McCain “comeback” theme for the weekend ahead of us.

If/When McCain wins, will we see the ‘America is racist’ cry from the media like we heard the ‘Bush stole the election’ crap?

Time to get Palin on National TV. Buy a primetime slot like Obama and show her live at a rally in the heartland.

Looks like that's exactly what he's doing. Excellent.

The last drops in the DOW occurred when Obama’s polling lead expanded. The last couple rises in the DOW match McCain pulling close in the polls. Coincidence?

Do not give ultimate power to the pollsters.
They may never flip positive for McCain.
But McCain WILL win anyways..

Looks like Gallup is trying to save their career come election day rather then have to spend 4 years explaining why they were wrong.

Exactly-now that it’s on Drudge 25 million people will know, and tell their friends and enemies, that Mccain closed the gap and it’s a tossup.

Looks like McCain has fired up some undecideds.

Fire in the belly works.

No, the "America is racist" meme will be a thousand times louder. Expect riots.

Where McCain blew it last night IMO (I was watching my Dodgers get killed, off and on during the debate, maybe I missed it) Is planting the seed that The Democrats were running the economy the last two year with control of congress.

Talking point

1. What caused the Financial collapse...Fannie Mae and RATS
2. Why the high energy costs, RATS blocking drilling, Refinery's, Coal, Nuclear He needs to spend $ with commericals to drive it home, it isn't over.
