The rise in GOP fortunes is certainly a result of the bounce it got from the convention. Palin did not hurt either. We will just have to wait and see if it holds up.

A scientific poll can tell you a lot about a general population with even a small sampling. Random poll do not.

Damon is an idiot. Whatever limited experience she has, she has more than Obama. Something he conveniently forgets. What in the world makes him think she believes that dinosaurs roamed the earth 4,000 years ago? Where does that come from? She has never said that. I and Governor Palin can face down anyone.

Right, up until now. A lot of young voters that are typically very disenchanted with the typical melba toast candidates are seemingly very intrigued/excited about Obama. That is one demographic that McCain cannot even come close to connecting with. He's tried, and it was awful. I think he just gave up.

Obama was not talking about Palin. He was talking about McCain's platform. That is clear from the prior remarks he said. Obama, for all his weaknesses, has never been a bombthrower. It is interesting that it has not been the McCain organization that has jumped on this, but the news media and bloggers. I wish McCain and Palin had come out with a statement that they understand Obama was not talking about Palin. That would have put them in a very good light.

She has to come out of hiding first from the extensive coaching she is receiving to do the interviews and face down some tough questions.
But i wont underestimate her, she probably will hold her own on alot of issues, but not all of them.

I'm just getting sick and the real issues being overlooked. Not one person- media or political pondit- has posed the real question at hand. The one no-one seems to be able to answer. The question that will be the real deciding factor as to who many women vote for this November.

What color lipstick does a pig wear? I want to know.

Umm it was the McCain campaign that issued the statement that accused Obama of being sexist, also several of McCains female surrogates took to news shows to cry sexism against Obama as well. You may want to rethink that statement, McCain started the whole sexist pig remark uproar.

No, she doesn't. Their public service careers started about the same time, and Obama has been serving in Washington for 4 more years than Palin.

It stems from her recent comments about 'not being sure' about whether evolution is real or not. And yes, that is a big deal.

Is this a guess? How would anyone know? Biden is going to shred her. He might even make her cry.
