Election 2008

[a.e.B.O.T.]

I think it will all fold out in October. I felt the attacks on Obama during the RNC where paper thin and repetitive. That is not the Republican party I am use to. I can't help but think they have something and they are holding out so that Obama can truck right through that as well. I think October will get ugly, and when the debates start coming, we will see some shift this way and that. I do not think the polls mean much right now.

McCain had a post convention bounce that has helped him overtake Obama according to the latest Gallup polls.

Im still around, its just I am really busy on the weekends with work and usually dont get the luxury to sustain mutli-hour conversations about politics. Plus 'Hannah' had me a little tied up, although I was slightly disappointed that she didnt produce a little more rain, God knows the western part of our state has really needed it in recent months.

Anyway, you know I am loving the new Poll releases and I dont really see it as a convention bounce either. If they both gained 5-7 points, then they would cancel and Obama should still be on top, or at least tied. I think, like some previous poster said, that people are starting to look past Obamas razzle-dazzle and are now looking for the substance to back it up with.

I do agree that unless something ridiculous happens, it should be a close race, obviously with the Republicans pulling it out in the end.
