2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSep 8, 2008 - "McCain Pulls Ahead in Gallup..."
Not the daily tracking poll, the actual Gallup poll, has Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., pulling ahead of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
The numbers among registered voters are 50 percent to 46 percent and 54 percent to 44 percent among likely voters.
Obamas campaign always said before the American people made their final decision about him, the Democrat would be judged on three things the VP pick, the convention, and the debates. Now, two of the three have gone down, and the American people have liked McCains stuff better.

Mitt's pollsters battle cry up to now...Hey we don't suck as bad as McCain did in 2008.

What a crazy time. It felt like the whole country had gone mad and only we recognized how awful Sarah Palin was. Well, that changed quickly enough, I guess.
