More Perspectives on Palin
Power Line — ... national stage. Last Wednesday, she performed courageously and skillfully under conditions of almost unimaginable pressure. Between now and November her skill and judgment will be tested further. By then, I think the voters will have a pretty good idea whether she has what it takes to be President, and I'm betting the answer will be Yes. I also think John McCain, whose extraordinary energy and resilience make him a force of nature, is good for quite a few years yet. UPDATE: Today's Gallup Poll has McCain up by three over Obama. That's an eleven-point swing since McCain ...

Here’s what Gallup published this morning: ...

Stubborn Facts — ... way they have hitherto, i.e. as a wolfpack determined to tear down the threat posed by Palin to Obama.

And there's more, buried near the bottom: In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/- 3 points for both samples. Ten points? Among likely voters? (* rubbing eyes* ) I'm not sure how the USA Today/Gallup differs from the "regular" Gallup poll which has the race at a tighter 48%-45% for McCain but I think it's safe to say the Republicans had a good ...

Dude? McCain/Palin up 10?

The Stump — ... that "we should probably expect this bounce to get bigger before it gets smaller." That's probably right. After all, tracking polls like Gallup typically combine three nights of polling--yesterday's number reflected Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Since Thursday's polling would have come before the McCain speech, you'd expect the next three-day average--which tosses out Thursday and adds in Sunday, making it the first to cover three post-convention nights--to give him a bigger lead. ...
