Really? Accoeding to Rasmussen, Romney was down 2 at the beginning of Tampa, and up 3-4 after. Historically, a 5.5-point bounce is pretty impressive.
A knee-jerk reaction to financial news put Obama over the top in 2008; American voters are both shallow and ignorant.
The Charlotte leather and chains freakshow might well result in a drop for hussein.
RE Kerry:
OMG...He really DOES look like LURCH in that pic!!!!
What a contemptible swine...just like the rest of his party..
Ridiculous, he’s never *been* more popular. /snicker
thanks SeekAndFind.
In the past, it's been about getting people involved who have not been involved and changing minds of those who were on the fence and even of some who had been in opposition.
That isn't working this time because no one is watching. I understand last night (Wednesday) they had only about 10 million watch on all channels combined. They probably had a ton of drop-outs, too, since Clinton droned on nearly until midnight.
So, the old idea that the conventions are when people suddenly get involved is no longer true. "Conventional" wisdom has changed.
It will probably be the debates that get people involved this time around.
And, of course, there are the sitcoms, talk shows, latenight, comedy centrals, SNLs, even sports commentators, etc., that are all campaign ads for the liberal -- Obama -- throughout the election season.
The liberals believe they can take down anyone if they put on a full-court media press.
I believe that has become their strategy.
My solution?
At least some of the challenger's ads are going to have to make people laugh out loud when they view them. (And they have to be laughing at Obama or some foolishness related to Obama.)
I saw a disturbing article that Romney and his SuperPac have completely pulled out of Pennsylvania and Michigan. If they’re giving up those two, the path to victory is narrow indeed.

Yes.
Overwhelmingly, yes.
Well, if the media can see Obama gets a big bounce then why can't they also keep it from fading?
Since nobody watched the rat convention (been there, seen that before) the “bounce” won’t come until the Democrat newsrooms are done spinning Ubama’s speech as the greatest oratory since Lewinsky. I mean Clinton.

A few videos like this have convinced me that the intellectual depth of the average dimmicrat voter can only be measured with the aid of nanotechnology. Does one micron sound about right? Seriously these people are as unacquainted with reality as it is possible to be and still remain above room temperature. Those who have a two digit IQ are ignorant, ill informed and goofy. Those who have a triple digit IQ are worse!
Agreed.
The "vagina monologues" probably didn't even help him with womyn.
