Sarah Palin passes her first test

August 29, 2008 /

I know Democrats are trying to paint Sarah Palin as Dan Quayle with a pony tail, but so far she passed her first test.

McCain intoduced her at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, and Sarah Palin was very comfortable and well-spoken on stage. She didn’t have that “deer in the headlights” look that Dan Quayle made famous back in 1988.

I still think she is a very risky choice, and it remains to be seen how she handles the scrutiny and tough questions on the issues, but she has charisma and she’s very good in front of a crowd.

Obama gets his bounce

August 29, 2008 /

So far, we’re seeing a nice bounce out of the Democratic convention. The Gallup tracking poll jumped from even to 6 points yesterday, and then moved to 8 points today. This covers three days of the convention but still doesn’t factor in Barack Obama’s speech from last night.

The spectacle from last night was huge, so we’ll see if that further increases the bounce.

We’ll see how the McCain pick of Sarah Palin works out, but the timing was brilliant, as the McCain campaign will blunt the impact of Obama’s speech.

John McCain’s temperment

August 28, 2008 /

The talking heads on MSNBC are bringing up a good point – by referencing McCain’s temperment, Barack Obama has indicated he will not hold back if McCain continues his patriotism attacks.

It’s well known that many Senators who have served with John McCain, including Republicans, are terrified at the thought of John McCain as president. The concerns rest with whether he is too unstable or volatile to be commander-in-chief.

For anyone paying attention, it should not be a surprise that Obama went right after McCain tonight. Expect this to continue.

The Stadium

August 28, 2008 /

For all the bluster from Republicans, the images from the stadium are incredible. They’re expecting over 80,000 people, as poeple are still in line thirty minutes before Obama is scheduled to speak.

Meanwhile, John McCain’s campaign is having trouble getting 10,000 people to attend his event tomorrow in Dayton to introduce his VP.

No wonder the Republicans are trying so hard to distract everyone with idiotic talking points like the stage in the stadium.

At what point do they start to look pathetic and desperate?
