1. Have you guys read the top diary at Daily Kos?
It's by TexasMango. I highly recommend it. It's the first diary to the right of the page.

3. So can people panicking please believe this poll and stop
worrying. McCain's lead will shrink back down and we will regain the lead but in the meantime we have to keep our heads and work hard.

5. Agreed, McCain's rebound not good enough... so far...
We will see tomorrow, but if McCain does not get a better rebound, he is toast.

If he passes Obama, then it's a big fight to the wire. And it's going to be exciting.

We know our boys will win the debates. Same CNN poll shows 13% undecided. Hopefull we can use the debates at our advantage.

BUT HOW CAN ANYONE BE UNDECIDED?

Hopefully the debates will convert them to our side.

If I was an undecided I would be hesitating between a middle-aged green horn full of potential with an older shark who knows Washington, and an old dude who sports a weird yellow combover with a Tina Fey look alike whose longest executive position was as mayor of the meth capital of Alaska.

I would not be hesitating, actually.

7. it's the convention bump - the Obama "anti-McCain" ads will move stuff
around.

Polls at this point are pretty meaningless overall - the election is still 2 months away.
