Mondale got a huge bounce after he picked Ferrarro

[Sugarcoated]

But they just reported on MSNBC those numbers didn't hold. I think a couple of points in the bounce signify the cursory convention bounce every candidate gets, and then points for Palin. He may gain a few points from where he was, but I have a feeling the media is making this out to be more than it actually is, of course, with a lot of PR help from Repub surrogates.

1. That's Ferrari.

It was more of a vroom than a bounce.

2. Yes, a Newsweek Poll had him up 2-points after his convention

up from 17-points down.

actually tied Reagan briefly

Before spiraling out of control.

And it was Geraldine's finances that were the biggest chain around her neck. Maybe Palin's will be hers.

8. A very similar dynamic in many ways, then

And this VP has so many skeletons, scandals & extreme stance on issues.

9. Danger of an unknown

You get a bounce for the freshness factor, but then you don't know what is going to come out of it. With Ferraro, it wasn't even her finances, it was her husband's. You never know what will be the one big thing the media won't let go of.

3. Palin Has Controlled So Many News Cycles

that the bounce is not surprising. Any scandals or criticisms that do not take her down simply add to the effect. I hope the campaign goes back to focusing on the two presidential nominees.
