That's where we are now. Convention bounces do go away, even if you've got a hot VP.<BR/><BR/>Major row on Wall Street and the Republican isn't blamed. He hasn't handled it particularly well either, but neither has the other guy. So that's also a wash.<BR/><BR/>We've also had the new meme picked up by the MSM and left blogs that "Only racism can explain an Obama loss." I'm no pollster, but I'll bet that's an attack that could do terrible damage to polling numbers without moving a single actual vote. Watch whether Republican identification numbers track with McCain's position in the polls. Or that's my obsessed layman's guess. <BR/><BR/>So anyway, there are several reasons to do like the Hitchhiker's Guide says and Don't Panic.Ronsonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084095209525920755noreply@blogger.com
