McCain/Palin at Colorado Springs


It's not Berlin of course, but it is pretty impressive.
................
I think this is called "the Palin effect."

Oh, and there were no superstar warm up bands either!

I had to add this from Ace's too. From RealClearPolitics comes some interesting poll numbers. I usually don't dwell on poll numbers because they always change, but these are pretty astonishing:
........................................
Washington Post/ABCNews Poll: McCain Vaults From 19 Point Deficit in Battleground Midwest to Plus Seven Advantage.
...............................................
White women have moved from 50-42 percent in Obama’s favor before the conventions to 53-41 percent for McCain now, a 20-point shift in the margin that’s one of the single biggest post-convention changes in voter preferences.
......................................................
McCain has a 17-point lead on which candidate can best handle an unexpected crisis and, for the first time, a double-digit advantage as the one more trusted on international affairs. McCain also has a 10-point lead on dealing with the war in Iraq, an issue that voters had been divided on since the outset of the campaign.

Have I mentioned that Palin was a gamechanger? Yes. I think I have.
