MAKE OR BREAK FOR BARACK

It may turn out that the most compelling argument for Democrats to rally to Barack Obama comes from Hillary Clinton, not Barack Obama. She was right. It's not about personalities, it's about principles. They didn't campaign for her exactly, they campaigned for what they believe in.

The problem for Obama is that he is campaigning on the basis of personality, not the issues. He defeated the vaunted Clinton machine with this strategy. Why change it now?

I think the extent of the bounce will not be known until Tuesday, 9/2 because the reliable tracking polls work on a 3 day rolling average and Tuesday will be the first reporting day after Hussein’s speech that will include all three of the days of sampling.

I certainly hope you are right but we actually won’t know until 9/2. Even then there will be confusion because we will have McCain announcing his VP.
