Wave "buh bye" to McLame's convention bounce, says Nate Silver

[jefferson_dem]

Overall, the landscape has not changed very much since the Republican convention – we’re just collecting different evidence about where the bounce might or might not be in different states. Arguably, however, there are a few signs that McCain is beginning to come off his peaks. Between the four national tracking polls, McCain now leads by an average of just 0.25 points, his smallest margin since the convention.

1. McLame's Dead Cat Bounce.

Or maybe his "Crash Landing Bounce".

2. Why is this man and his whacko bible banging pole dancer leading?

I don't get it.

3. Mysterious, isn't it?

4. I think it really is because the majority of Americans

are not like us, they are not political junkies. They are very disengaged. Few of the people who are now excited about Palin, other than hard core republicans and the rapture right, have any clue about what this woman believes. They aren't interested enough to find out.

It just is really sad.

10. Economy Economy Economy Economy Economy Economy

Let Damon/Lohan attack her beliefs.

5. People are more likely to follow people who lead them in the wrong direction

than follow people who don't lead them anywhere at all.

9. It's a total mystery! I'm truly puzzled....

6. To heck with Nate Silver, for it is I, dchill...

who said "buh-bye" to McCain's convention bounce (even reinforced as it was by the Democratic Convention-eclipsing Palin rollout) first! I said it after the first Gibson/Palin interview. And I didn't need no steenking polls to tell me it was over, either.

BTW, the dkos Daily Tracking Poll has Obama up 47-45. It's done by Research 2000.

7. So let it be done.

:thumbsup:

8. Still, in the spirit of benevolence and Unity...

I'm willing to wave "buh-bye" WITH Nate.

:hi:
