My guess is that we will see a Romney uptick--whether he is leading is the question. WI_DEM Aug 2012 #6

"Shock Poll: Romney leads Obama!!!"

"Did Romney shoot his own foot? New poll shows Obama continues to lead"

"Election continues to be too close to call"

I predict you will see all three themes in the reporting on polling this weekend.

I will check them out anyway. I will be a bit surprised if this pick gives Romney the historic bump that the VP usually gives the non-incumbent running for Prez. But, maybe this will energize enough of the base to do it. Meh doesn't matter. The public has a couple of months to get to know and loathe these two ass hats as much as we do.

Debate performances shift polls too.

It might be better to go through the withdrawals now because you have about 5 weeks before the polls are meaningful.
