[...] convention bounce appears to be over now, with national and state-by-state polls mostly returning to where they were the next-to-last [...]

“Oh, good. We’re not telling everyone that all polls are bullshit anymore.”

Got a quote?

I was talking about when the polls would reflect Palin’s interview, so obviously I didn’t think they were bullshit.

It would have been valid to warn against buying into the poll numbers too much so soon after the conventions. The weirdness in the bounces complicate matters too much.

I don’t think polls mean a whole heck of a lot, but they do have a hand in media coverage of the race.

Yes, agreed. Observe the looks of relief tonight on the three MSNBC shows, Left, far Left, and Beyond Hope Left.

Mission Accomplished. Oh, and a special shout-out to Lehman, Merrill and AIG.

Fantastic timing, fellas.

You keep using that word. I don’ think it means what you think it does.

Inconceivable.

Good catch. Brain’s fried right now.

matt621: Oh, good. We’re not telling everyone that all polls are bullshit anymore.

All? Who ever said all? More often it’s along the lines of “This poll is wrong and here’s why…”

Y’know. A statement actually followed up by the reasons for making the statement.

Maybe the fomenting at the mouth will abate for a few days, matt621.

Don’t believe the polls.

Now believe the polls.

Who could’ve predicted the reaction.

They must be back in our favor.

The reason we cannot verify Barack Obama’s birth is that he was raised in a Vietcong Prison Camp by Chinese Special Ops. Under the supervision of Comrade McCain, aka Christof, aka Mrs. Iselin, he spent five and a half of his formative years under closely guarded and heavily programmed Communists Dukakisian Kennedy ideology. Both Comrade McCain and Comrade Imam Obama are finally carrying the Manchurian plot to its apex. Next January, America will prostrate itself before the the Grand Imam Party Chairman The One with Comrade McCain in the rafters under his new name: Mrs. Christof Iselin.

So begins the great cultural blackberry purge…
