"McCain is being viewed as running for Bush's Third Term. The Palinpalooza is basically over, despite the attempts of some to keep it going." - From Big Ticket Democrat/Talk Left
]
Another piece in Talk Left said: "Obama [is] regaining the momentum in the presidential race and leading John McCain. It's not just the economy. It's also McCain's opportunistic pick of Gov. Sarah Palin for Vice President. A majority of those polled (pdf)find her unqualified and 3/4 of them believe she was selected primarily to help McCain win. "
"More than half of registered voters do not think she is prepared for the job of Vice President, and a majority express concern about Palin being able to take over the presidency, if necessary. Even supporters of John McCain cite “inexperience” as what they like least about her. Palin’s unfavorable rating is also up eight points from last week."

Jack, you're right but what is the AP thinking with this headline? "Obama looks to regain momentum in debate series"

I think they mean six points is nothing. Obama could blister the Baked Alaska team by a few dozen points. By mementum, they mean, he's on track to win this election by the biggest plurality ever.
ReplyDeleteThis current bump doesn't feel like momentum. But after this debate it will.
It's that damn "regain" that gets me. After the Palin bounce the polls reverted to a 2-3 point margin favoring Obama. It's never been higher, has it?
ReplyDeleteIt was up to six points about five days ago...
