WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
One theme over the summer is that whatever happens in the election, it's always "bad news" for Obama. Here's some more. From The Page and Quinnipac University:
Palin Boosts McCain In Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds; But Obama Leads In Two Of Three Battlegrounds --- FLORIDA: McCain 50 - Obama 43; OHIO: Obama 49 - McCain 44; PENNSYLVANIA: Obama 48 - McCain 45Here are the August numbers:
FLORIDA: McCain 47 - Obama 43; OHIO: Obama 44 - McCain 43; PENNSYLVANIA: Obama 49 - McCain 42So, sure, McCain did improve his numbers in FL and PA. But lets look at Ohio:
August: Obama 44 - McCain 43;
Today: Obama 49 - McCain 44;
That is the largest lead Obama has had in Ohio since mid-July. And he's still ahead in PA. All in the face of the McCain/Palin national convention bounce. But "Palin boosted McCain's numbers". That's the headline. We'll take that "bad news" any day of the week.
