Today's Gallup Daily Tracking Poll (take it for what its worth)
Obama 48%
McCain 44%
My thoughts: While I think the accuracy of this poll can be strongly debated, it seems to be a decent indicator of the general feeling of the country. Obama getting a strong boost during the DNC. Then McCain over taking Obama for the first time with the announcement of Palin. Then the economy going in the shitter gave Obama a boost. Democrats tend to fair better in the polls when the economy is the issue...."it's the economy stupid".... So Obama was over 50% for only the second time this entire campaign last week. Now it is moderating a little. Was surprised to see the Palin bump drop as quick as it did. Thought it would ride at least into October.
Its sad, but its true...Obama camp is likely hoping for more bad economic news to keep the new guy looking like the better option.
But the repubs aren't guilt free, you know they loved the new Osama Bin Laden video the day before the 2004 election! As they tend to fair better when security is the issue.
New anti-Palin ad was taken off YouTube recently, was a very good ad that connected her with the group she and her husband were members of, the Alaskan Independence Party. Really interesting to see what their beliefs truly are, but the ad was removed because the creator of the ad (not affiliated with the obama camp) was getting threats and his family was being harassed.
Joe Biden had an interesting little flub today when he told Katie Couric that he thought the recent Obama ad against McCain was wrong and if he had anything to say about it, he wouldn't of aired it. But then it comes out that he had never seen the ad and was just reacting to what people in the news media told him about it. Now that he has seen it they released a statement saying he stands by it. lol...right :) Oh joe!!
Palin is meeting with seven world leaders at the UN here shortly. I hope someone tells her what the UN stands for before the meeting.

Sean, I believe you are wrong about Ms. Palin belonging to the AIP at one time. Her husband was a member for a while, she was never a member.
You can thank me later.
Love you

That is still debated.
The fact that she attended meetings and personally opened the 2008 AIP convention with a rousing and enthusiastic speech proves intent to the contrary.
