Are most all yall truly idiots to that degree, have you missed the, what's a word for greater than predominant but less than absolute, amount of traffic generated for the bho campaign around here recently; a vast amount coming from posters or sites that one day would like to achieve a status of only being called biased and not full blown please pour me another koolaid glass while I bow before you my lord hacks.
I have been regularly visiting this forum for the past 6 months and one thing I have definetely noticed... Lupi - you are not unbiased. You are one of the most biased to the right people in this forum.
If you just once in a while said some unbiased comments your post above would ahve some creedence.
Then you haven't read enough threads. There have been times when I've gotten the label of all major political divisions in a single thread.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...Obama lost momentum coming out of the grueling campaign season, and the anticipation of his VP pick flopped with the rather unexciting selection of Biden.It's called a convention "bounce". It will be gone by next weeks polls and Obama will be back on top.
Then McCain comes out of nowhere with a surprising VP pick, is managing to motivate the Republican base, AND is also waging a rather compelling argument that he, and not Obama, is the agent of change.
The Democrats definitely have a problem...attempts to equate McCain to Bush are not working...both camps are claiming the change message...and ironically enough, McCain is running his campaign as a challenger and not a member of the incumbent party.
Honestly, I think it will remain close until the very end, and not surprising, the same battleground states will probably once again be in play.

The polls are all over the damn place and they are national. Let's see what the state polling says. I don't trust the CNN poll either really, they have been odd. In fact, almost every national polling firm has had a major outlier. I think Gallup may have overbitten, whereas CNN is underreporting McCain's surge.
This is a convention BOUNCE regardless.
From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
"The USA Today/Gallup poll, as we mentioned earlier, has some very good news for the McCain folks, as it shows the Republican nominee getting a sizable bounce.
But here's one fact from the poll that might give McCain some pause -- the Bush number is largely unchanged.
In this poll, 63% of voters expressed concern that that McCain would pursue policies that are too similar to what George W. Bush has pursued. In the previous survey, conducted from Aug. 30-31, 64% expressed that concern; in the Aug. 21-23 survey, 66% said so." Link
Critical to McCain's campaign is his ability to distance himself from Bush, and central to Obama's campaign is ensuring that voters continue to associate McCain to Bush.Chuck Todd previously wrote that the number to watch is not head to head, but how percentage of voters who think he will follow Bush's policies has changed.

We all know PRofjohn is mildly retarded, but why is everybody else so concerned wth McCain getting a convention bounce? I don't understand, bounces are the rules, not the exception.
And the only state result we've seen so far was fairly good for Obama.

Take away Palin and it was a torpid affair. They needed a gimmick and Palin was a perfect one. Without her McCains Poll numbers probably would have suffered because he really doesn't inspire at all. Let's see what happens once the sheen is gone away from PablumOriginally posted by: loki8481

I think everyone was expecting Obama to get a bigger bounce than he did, and everyone was expecting the GOP convention to be some torpid affair after which McCain wouldn't get a significant bounce.
