Polls POST RNC come out Monday / Tuesday! Early estimates on a yahoo report I just read indicate it will be dead even, to a 2 point McCain lead!

It's ridiculous for you to ASSume that Palin "made" her daughter have a baby and get married. By all sources I have heard, the kids were already planning to get married before she got pregnant. I doubt anyone is MAKING Bristol have a baby or get married.

It doesn't matter what I assume. Or what you assume. It matters what college kids think, and what situations they've seen in their own lives.

That's why I keep saying Sarah Palin was a real gift to the dems. She gets people excited, she gets people talking. Which has always been the biggest challenge in getting the college kids to vote. So thanks, Sarah, we will always be in your debt for this.

At the same time, this pregnancy issue is going to keep them from voting for her. And the teenage marriage issue is going to bother a lot of college kids, too.

You may not want to hear this, but it's true.

Thank God. I still think Obama will win, but I guess we'll have to see how the debates go.

The debates, and also there's bound to be 2-3 twists and turns ahead.

I'll go ahead and go out on a limb with two predictions: I predict at least one big crisis will have people talking about a serious issue. And, I predict someone will uncover at least one more major skeleton in somebody's closet--most likely Palin's. Not that I have anything against her, but a colorful person like this is bound to have more secrets.

Why would you LET your 17 year old daughter get married?

Obama's full convention bounce didn't come until Monday after his convention.
