All that, and the full effect of McCain's and Palin's speeches haven't been realized yet.

Ah.. we still have the debates coming up.. it will go up and down and up and down until the day of the election.

At least he said something of substance, instead of recycling the same old tired speech he gives every day like Obama did!

Yep, I think McCain-Palin numbers will increase dramatically when everyone sees that Obama is all fairy tale and no substance.

And I feel that Obama's numbers willcontinue to rise as peopole realize that McCain is more of the same on all fronts as Bush and Obama offers something different.

After 8 years of Republicans it's time to give the reigns tosomeone else! Republicans had their chance and have failed.. miserably....

And what it tells me is Loud and Clear..

That Americans are tired of the state this country is in and strongly feel they do not want another 4 years of Republican policies and are coming out and making donations..

It's a grassroots movement! For the first time ever I donated money to my candidate..not much...but every little bit helps.

And those are all the people that those "polls" arent getting to!
