Did I just watch Joe Biden say on TV THAT HE THINKS HILLARY WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER VP PICK???

either he's a moron or this is a meltdown

I posted this in the previous thread: Rass had Obama at +4 so the swing is of 6 points.
Mason Dixon had McCain up by 4 at the same time 8/15-20 so those crying woe is us right now take a deep breath.

These bounce numbers should not be blown out of proportion. The debates, for one thing, will render all these numbers irrelevant.

Lalo-relax. O will win. he has the mccain camp EXACTLY where he wants them to be. Don't live in your head and allow that voice in your head to take seige. So, he said what he did. So? How is it a meltdown? I'll tell you who is melting down. The repubs are- know why? they are running scared because they know that Sarah Palin has something to hide and they want to bring O down beofre that happens. That is why they are allowing this STUPID non -issue to make the airwaves. people like you are buying it. so, think what u want. O will win in a landslide. Start to see how he will pull away in the polls in the next week or so. Mark my words. There is a strategy at play and it is working. You may not see it because you don't want to. but it is there.

Beware of putting too much faith in the poll du jour, especially when you see sudden, large shifts. Just like the SUSA NC poll that showed McSame with a 20 pt lead there, this needs to be taken with a VERY LARGE grain of salt.

These polls are nice, the bounce is nice, but McCain is at a full sprint right now. Can he keep this up? N-O. Polishing a turd can only get you so far. Facts and issues will come out and 95% of the american people will see this as a presidential race not a popularity contest.

McCain campaign is "running on empty." Obama is just starting to push. The water always gets drawn out before a tsunami.

Honestly though, what does McCain have to run on? He's got nothing other than troop surge and faux-change. Listen to Bob Woodward on 60 minutes and it will tell you all you need to know about McCain-Bush-surge.

We would be mistaken if we didn't think this was coming. McCain called on Palin for precisely this. She has nothing more to offer than this political stunt. She is MIA reciting a worn out speech and her bounce has happened. She and McCain are out. The only thing they have are pot shot ads twisting the truth. That will wear off and we will see what is happening.

Eric's Daily "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" poll report.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

Don't know if this state will be hotly contested--someone posted an entry over at DKos that McCain has pulled resources out of NM, and of course we know the RNSC isn't investing there. I think internal polls show Obama ahead clearly in NM, although I never thought he was ahead by 15 points or whatever the margin was last week.

OK, can someone explain what the strategy is for Joe Biden to preface all his remarks at campaign appearances with anecdotes about what good friends he and his wife are with McCain? I am struggling to see if there is some rope-a-dope strategy or set up that I am not savvy enough to perceive???

I'm wanting that attack dog approach, but maybe they
have a clever plan? Thoughts?
