Post-RNC and pre-debates = McCain Golden Era.
A bounce built on a predictable convention upswing and a couple of ads that are grossly misleading. One day after the first negative tracking polls, and already our teeth are gnashed and our garments are rent?
My point isn't, "relax," because I hate those headlines, too. But they can make ads that address the lies. They can make ads that hit the Republican ticket for touting all the ways they've fought Republicans.
And the debates. Obama is good. Obama and/or moderators will get to poke some holes in the empty rhetoric and home-crowd grandstanding that is pushing this current wave. Hopefully they'll poke at the McTemper a little, too.
Sometimes during a battle, you're not on top. That doesn't mean you've lost. Unless you reach that portion of the battle, of course, and start freaking out en masse. The Republicans always know that. Can we learn it?
(p.s. If all else fails, focus on the damn electoral map. Giving yourself over to national tracking polls is like following a football game by keeping an eye on the total yards instead of points.)
