Perhaps she will be above 80% like she was in Alaska.

Based on what I've read and heard, she'll be lucky to still be on the
ticket. This choice will turn out to be the dumbest thing McCain ever
did.

They aren't trying that hard. Obama does most of the heavy lifting for them!

The RCP average shows Obama's lead is down to 1.8% as today's
Rasmussen Poll shows the race a dead heat. The lead that Obama had
before the conventions is now half of what it was. The downward slide
of Obama's numbers continues. The net bounce from the conventions
goes to McCain.

I don't know if this is due to Palin or not, but I don't think the
Republicans are second guessing anything.

Yes, if we drilled all the oil out of ANWR we could watch the price
plummet by at least 2 or 3 cents per gallon.
