I think the numbers will decline for a couple more days as the impact of the debate media spin fully gets incorporated, but by the weekend because of good performances by Cheney and Bush at the debates, plus a great jobs report the tide will turn back our way... and by next tuesday we will be ahead by 5 or 6 nationally and have only 3 weeks to go!!!
By the way, any advance word, rumor, or speculation on the Sept Jobs reports, due Friday?
I expect this debate to be worse than the first. It doesn't matter if Bush is sharper. They'll have phony "noncommitted" voters that are really Democrats asking loaded questions. Baker must be a numbskull for agreeing to this. He made the same mistake with Bush I. Why he's considered a good negotiator is beyond me. And why Bush let him do it is beyond me. I think everyone in the Bush campaign is unconscious.
