6. This will officially put Obama back up in the RCP average

I expect we won't see McCain lead again.

[Cush]

7. Palin is dropping

Palin’s favorable rating stands at 40 percent, down 4 points from last week. Her unfavorable rating, which stands at 30 percent, has risen eight points in the same time period. Her favorable rating among women has fallen 11 points in the past week.

Obama/Biden will wipe the floor with MuckPalin! :patriot: :woohoo:

[chill_wind]

14. Somewhere, busy pundits at CNN are scrambing for a different set of data....

This is going to ruin their pro-McCain agit-prop cycle for a whole day.

[RagAss]

15. McSenile shits his Depends !!

[speedoo]

16. Bad news on Palin:

"More than half of registered voters do not think Palin is prepared for the job of Vice President, and even McCain supporters cite “inexperience” as what they like least about her.

Just 17 percent of registered voters say McCain chose Palin because she is well qualified for the job of Vice President. Seventy-five percent say McCain made the choice to help win the election. (Even voters backing the Republican ticket share this view: 53 percent say the Palin choice was to help McCain win in November.)

Contrast that with the perception of Obama's selection of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as running mate: 57 percent of registered voters say Obama chose Biden because he is well qualified. Thirty-one percent say the choice was to help with the election."

Nice pick, there McSame. You put the Country LAST, and everyone knows it, you stupid fuck.

17. This is mostly from the Palin bounce ending. There should be an additional bump up for Obama...

from the financial crisis unfolding. This is shaping up to be a very good week for Obama.
