During the GOP convention, are all these networks going to have all liberal guests (we already know about the hosts) blasting every word as soon as it is spoken?

You can see where the average person watching most networks will get inundated with all the Obot KnownFacts at both conventions.

My guess–Gallup will show Obama at +10 in post-DNC polling, Rasmussen at +5 or so, and the average of polling probably at +7 or +8.

But with one catch, perhaps McCain’s VP announcement will blunt this bounce.

And with a decent RNC, McCain will be tied or slightly ahead (+2 or so) ten days from now.

The more the public sees of Obama the less it likes him. As a concept, he's great. As a living empty suit, not so much.</p> but so far it has been fairly accurate.

I think the McCain campaign thus far has done a highly commendable job of blunting any Obama momentum, and see no sign they will let up.</p> It would have been nice to know the immediately “before the speech”/”immediately after the speech” differential.
