McCain's got a definite bump in the polls post-convention.
Not sure what's driving that, but a good bet is Palin.

I get the feeling McCain really wanted Lieberman, but a sobering
analysis of that pick (as I'm sure the party elders told him) would
probably doom the ticket. Actually, now that I think about it, McCain
"is" the party elder. Ha!!!!

But you get my point. Sarah Palin gives the republicans something to
get truly excited about -- especially since it appears they weren't
even really all that excited about McCain. Too much of a Maverick for
the base, and probably a bit too centrist too.

Still, it's a long way to Election Day. Palin's pick put them back in
the race.
November will be very interesting.....

I did speak with a friend yesterday (in rural Tennessee), and he says
the country's basically closed-up. No jobs anywhere.... Very
depressing! If indeed most "voters" (the ones who actually register
AND cast a vote!) are similarly situated, republicans could be in big
trouble.

I live in a major metro area, so I don't see it as much. But there
are still signs of a "soft landing" everywhere you look. As if the
real underlying economic "recovery" is actually built on a pretty
fragile house of cards.(?) And now we're bailing out Freddie /
Fannie...

Where was the Republican oversight?
Why would anyone pay those CEO's millions to *** up liquidity that
much?
And speaking of Greenspan, there was nothing more important he could
have done in his 20+ years at the Fed then to head off this housing
bubble. IMO.
