By This Time Next Week We'll Know Who's Gonna Win...
...if we don't know already.

John McCain shot himself in the foot with Palin. If Obama's bounce holds, and McCain gets no bounce coming out of his convention, he's toast. Check next Tuesday's polls to see if that's the case.

At this point, McCain can't ask Palin to withdraw because he'll look weak and the Kool-Aid drinkers love her so much that they'll abandon him if he goes with someone like Ridge or Lieberman after being teased. They'll see it as backstabbing.

But he can't keep her, either, because the rest of the country looks at his decision as a joke or an insult, and are openly questioning his judgment.

In any case, if the race continues as it has since the Palin pick, watch for Fox News to start playing Rev. Wright tapes on an endless loop.

2. Nothing has happened this week to bring Obama's bounce down.
Palin will be an overall loss for mcpow. Fux can do what they do, but, the focus will be on "what next?" from failin' palin.

4. We have to have a 10 point lead at the election or it will be stolen.

5. This is why the MSM is saying her Speech is waht is the big thing -- What they aren't saying is ...
that regardless of what she says in that speech they will still praise her and how McCain and Palin are the team to beat (polls shift)...You'll see...what the media tomorrow go nutz openly gushing about how brilliant her speech was (she can just say "i'm into Alaska separation" and they will still praise it regardless)
