The Bump is Gone

Well, Palin has done it; she has managed to erase Obama's lead already.

(CBS) The presidential race between Barack Obama and John McCain is now even at 42 percent, according to a new CBS News poll conducted Monday-Wednesday of this week. Twelve percent are undecided according to the poll, and one percent said they wouldn't vote.

This is in contrast to a poll conducted last weekend, where the Obama-Biden ticket led McCain-Palin by eight points, 48 percent to 40 percent.

Impressive. Most impressive. Looks like McCain made the right choice. Now, of course, this is just the beginning; but we must remember that the longer Obama goes, the WORSE he usually does. The more people get to know him, the LESS they seem to like him.

This isn't the primary race, where he can count on early, ignorant successes to assure him a nicely padded victory, as with his squeaker with Senator Clinton -- this is a long race, with knowledge of the candidates building, until one day, where we all decide at once.

This SHOULD have been a Democratic year no sweat. the Democrats have picked a poorly vetted candidate, and that just may cost them the White House.

As someone who mostly enjoys politics as a spectator sport, this is gonna be fun.
