Sorry folks...I meant Astronomy...not astrology LOL

Wow that was quite the gaffe! :eek:

Must have missed that, Strangler. My thoughts were original in my mind.:)

You can say this over and over, but it might be better if you actually listened to what she said in her speech.

I read it.:)

Seriously, though, one speech to me does not mean that her political history goes out the window. I somewhat doubt that if Bush came out with a speech contrary to what your current viewpoint is of him that it would sway you much. You'd wait to see what he actually did rather than what he said.

One thing that does not seem to be good for Obama at present is that while Gallup had him up by 8 immediately after his speech, a recent poll by Zogby has McCain up 2 and CNN has Obama only up one. The reason I say that does not look good for Obama is that there will be a (small) bounce for McCain after the republican convention. McCain's announcment of Palin immediately after the Dem convention seems to have negated the expected Obama bounce (which it seems like he got - going up 8 in the Gallup poll) when Gallup had had it tied for the previous couple of days.

Granted, it's still very, very close, but I'm sure Obama and his team expected a lead to hold for a bit before the Republican convention.

Why?

Hey, ABG- you're a chick! You're supposed to vote for the side with the woman on it, don't you know that?;)
