Having a bounce in the polls is expected for a Presidential candidate after their Party convention. In recent history Democrats such as Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and John Kerry saw heavy surges in the polls after their big events, only to loose on the first Tuesday in November. So deep concerns must of engulfed the Obama campaign when polls showed him receiving no bounce to four points at best.

The McCain campaign deserves credit for controlling the political conversation after Obama gave his Hollywood style speech. The media discussed his acceptance address for less than 24 hours and then it was time to add "change" to the campaign in the form of GOP Vice President candidate Sarah Palin.

Since Palin was introduced to America as well as the world, any traction Obama gained had dwindled. Since her speech at the Republican convention and McCain's the next day, the polls began favoring the Arizona senator. Today Obama and his running-mate, you know, whats his name the plagiarism dude, are down in every poll and there is no end to their free fall in sight.

Making matters worse for the Democratic ticket is their allies in the media are also falling from grace. Obama loyalists Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann have been dropped from anchoring live political events for MSNBC. Such a move is more symbolic than anything else. They are being replaced by another leftist David Gregory, but none of it matters as it appears nobody is watching MSNBC anyway except for the broadcasters family members.

Rolling Stone magazine and US Weekly publisher Jann Wenner has been outed for using his publications to promote Obama, while attacking Palin. While Wenner undoubtedly believed he could influence woman waiting in the grocery check out line with his negative cover story about Palin, his plans have backfired as the public overwhelmingly believes the media is treating the mother of five unfairly. Rule #1 never mistreat mom. Especially a mom with a special needs
child.

With seven weeks to go anything can happen. McCain may come across as too old, Biden may speak, Palin may have had nude pictures taken when she was younger and we may learn that Barack Obama has had additional relationships with clergy and activists who hate America as well as Jews. We just don't know.

What we do know is that even with the ouster of the MSNBC clowns the media will continue to be relentless in their attacks against McCain and Palin. In the meantime Biden needs to go into hiding as it appears without a doubt that he was a worthless choice for Obama. Word to the unwise. Don't pick a foreign policy guy who doesn't believe that Iran's Revolutionary Guard isn't a terrorist group. Bonehead! Finally we know that Obama will not debate McCain at town hall meetings, relying on teleprompters and time restricted canned answers during standard debates.

Substance vs. Superstar will continue to be the battle for the White House. However Obama doesn't have the star power he did a few months ago and his star is being out shined by the #2 on the GOP ticket. Who just happens to have more substance in her hair pins than Obama has in his entire head. //Paulies Point
