Gallup O-49 M-41
Most, but not all taken before Barack's speech. Hopefully tomorrow we'll hit 50+.
I'm watching talking heads; conservatives are rallying around Palin, saying this cements McC's 'maverick' image. Looks more like a sell-out to me. Old Joe Lieberman must be crying in the back room w/Mitt. It does add a different dynamic and if nothing else has completely takeover the narrative.
McC's got the base now... but it's not enough. Who else will he get with this pick? Do the hockey moms all want their children learning creationism in school. My mom, historical Repub, has alrdady come out for Barack, though my dad's been silent. But he loves his grandchildren and I seriously doubt he'll vote for someone who'll push for creationism as part of the Repub platform.
But she's cute... we'll see how much the optics are worth.
