Beware the Biden Bounce

By Selwyn Duke

The Gallup polling organization says it’s official: There is a bounce associated with Barack Obama’s pick of Joe Biden as his vice-presidential running mate.

And John McCain got it. 

Writes Gallup:

Gallup Poll Daily tracking
from Aug. 23-25, the first three-day period falling entirely after
Obama’s Saturday morning vice presidential announcement, shows 46% of
national registered voters backing John McCain and 44% supporting
Obama, not appreciably different from the previous week’s standing for
both candidates. This is the first time since Obama clinched the
nomination in early June, though, that McCain has held any kind of
advantage over Obama in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

Brilliant pick, that Biden, huh?  I’m not saying Obama’s recent problems will translate into GOP victory in November, but it is amusing to watch Senator Change, Unity and Hope’s campaign leak oil.

    Dear Selwyn,
    I’ve just cottoned on to your website and it’s quite obvious that you’re a rabid republican, and, no doubt, a southerner (–that’s why I used ‘cottoned’, get it?)
    It’s beyond me how anyone in his right mind can defend the Republican party when they put a ‘straw dog’ like Bush to rule the country for the benefit of the MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (–we don’t much here that anymore, do we?) and the oil companies. I doubt that an IQ dog on the straw dog would go much beyond 105.
    Presently, the news media–almost all of which is republican controlled, in effect–makes no attempt to analyze Putin’s assertion that Georgia was an orchestrated attack by the Republicans to create a ‘world’ of increasing danger…in which, the snap-to mentality of the mind-controlled American mainstream should immediately think: ” We need a strong, military man!”
    How absolutely demoralizing to the average thinking man (rarely found these days) that this should be so. I note, also, that you have yet to address this issue–to whit, that the Georgian attack was the creation of a cynical Presidency at the behest of the Republican party (read, oil lobby and military-industrial complex).
