Hopefully Gustav will not affect people from watching the republican convention.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Thats the Hillary bump, I wonder if Biden will have the same affect.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
The bounce finally showed up.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
I would guess this is a combination of the nega-bounce of Sen Biden rolling off the average and good vibes from Sen Clinton’s tuesday speech. I suspect it has Sen Obama over 50% on the day (hard to imagine it doesn’t), but I don’t have my dailies handy, so I’m not sure about that.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
it will be 9 or 10 by friday
August 28th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
There’s the bounce.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Oh, if it’s due mostly to the negation of the Biden Effect, don’t expect Sen Obama to cross 50% until the weekend. If it isn’t, then he’ll be there tomorrow.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
And now we have the bounce….Maybe we can get a little rain tonight at the temple of the one true Obamagod. Lol. Biden bring any bounce at all it appears and this is from the convention and probably a lot to do with Hill and Bill. I’ll be shocked if it lasts for more than a few days. I’m thinking McCain/Romney* will be leading in the polls by a point or two by the end of the Rep convention.
*Yes, I do think its Romney.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Not to worry, a big announcement tonight will cause a bounce back
August 28th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
No worries here - we all expected this bounce to finally show up. Hill did well 2 nights ago obviously Obama pulled in some of her supporters as a result.
Now, we will wait and see how much of a bounce tonight’s “Address from the Temple of Zeus” will bring and then how much of a bounce JMac gets after announcing Blackburn or Whitman as VP tomorrow.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
This appears to be an anticipatory manifestation of the Romney bounce.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Hillary supporters have come home. Can we finally stop with the nonsense that we need a woman?
August 28th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
That is dramatic bounce nonetheless given that his speech hasn’t even come yet.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
MarkG: Yes, fear Romney will not be picked.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
It’s going to get really ugly this weekend. If Gustov hits Monday/Tuesday, we may not be able to recover next week.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
HELLO!!! This is the same result as August 12th. A lot of the change might be random fluctuation.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Why is Pawlenty suddenly canceling interviews?
August 28th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
The Secret Service have been seen around a member of Mitt Romney’s family. Could this be a sign of things to come?

August 28th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Are you sure they weren’t SEC lawyers? Because that really would be a sign of things to come.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
14. This nation has done just fine for 232 years without having a woman in the White House, no reason to start now, right Taylor?
August 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
The women I know would be seriously turned off by a blatant attempt to play identity politics with thier vote.
August 28th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
#22 We do not “need” a woman, or a man, or a black person, or a hispanic. It does not matter if we never have a woman, or other. We need a good leader.
August 28th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Don’t worry Romney is ready to sock it to ‘em!
August 28th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
In private life I hope.

Ugh. Please not the Rombot.

“The Secret Service have been seen around a member of Mitt Romney’s family. Could this be a sign of things to come?”
It means that one of Mitt’s family is McCain’s selection for VP.
August 28th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Let’s hope it’s the maid or the butler.
August 28th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Pawlenty is not the person I want on the ticket. I will not be enthusiastic if McCain picks this guy….
