Okay everyone, here's the deal... we just had two VERY good days in a row.
Obama's slam on McCain on Wednesday and yesterday's "win" for us at the town hall... and perhaps most of all the TERRIBLE performance by Sarah Palin during the ABC interview last night. We're rolling out some new ads today and the 3 day "lipstick" bump for the right will have softened soon.

I can't imagine NONE of that has helped us. The problem is, we won't see any of it until Monday or Tuesday of next week.

I'm not saying don't show any concern. I'm not saying don't go out there and FIGHT for Obama, we have to keep pushing, and HARD. But what I am saying is, don't give up hope. We're going to come back from a rough couple of weeks. This week ended up being a win for us and I'm sure the polls will show it.

2. Those polls aren't "up the the minute"
You aren't seeing real time, they are from previous days. We need the polls to catch up with the news.

3. 3 day rolling average there, remember?
What happens in the day time does not show up until a few days later.

4. I think the McCain campaign is running scared. Like an animal caught in a trap,

lashing out at the air, or in this case, the press. All I can say is; if they can't take the punches, they shouldn't start the fight. And, if they don’t want to be called out on their lies and distortions they should stop making them.

6. Coming off of good days on Tuesday and Wednesday.
We had the lipstick, and Biden leaving them reeling on stem cell research.
