The Obama Bounce

The Democratic Convention has given Obama a traditional bounce and that's before his speech to the delegates. The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll gives Obama a six point lead over McCain. The Poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 42%. After the Obama speech, here in the UK early Friday morning, Obama should get a few more points. The question is can Obama keep the bounce or will the attacks at the Republican Convention dilute that bounce. It should be noted that the other Daily Tracking Poll has a different result, Rasmussen has a tied race with both Obama and McCain on 47%. Both Gallup and Rasmussen see a bounce for Obama, the range differs, but the question is can Obama keep himself in the news with the Republican Convention on and the latest tensions between the USA and Russia. This will be a very close race, this is just the hype before the trench warfare of a long race. I am worried that Obama has made a mistake with his Convention Speech, he needs less of the Star aspect and more of the politician who listens to the voters.

Russian Threat to the USA Ships

The Times: Reports on the threat by Russia to USA Ships in the Black Sea. The Russians have to be warned that their rhetoric is getting out of hand, if need be send in NATO troops to Georgia, make it plain to the Russians that this is finished, the more weakness the West shows the more chance of a mistake, a skirmish between the USA and Russia that's gets out of hand.

The Eyes tell the STORY

Have just seen a historical event also a sham, Senator Obama has finally gotten the Democratic Crown. That Crown was handed to him by Hillary Clinton. The Sham, did you look at her eyes voters, if you think she was happy at being there, I have a bridge on Brooklyn I can sell you with no questions asked. The question what will the voters think of this event, the elite media is fawning, even Fox seems to have taken a happy bill. The reason of course lets be honest is because Obama is African - American, so what, it a certain age hang up I think, it would not matter if he was black,white, brown, green or any other colour you can imagine. He still an arrogant, if your traditional voter your are bitter, he is the Star, not sure your name being shouted in Berlin is what you want, they don't have the best judgement. Liberal, do the voters really think he wont raise your taxes. Then there is the matter of trust and character, would a voter throw their own grandmother under the bus to protect someone that had help you in your career, the Pastor to Obama. This might sound old fashioned but blood is blood, and one has to ask if one was to change the colour of the characters, if Obama's grandmother was African - American and his Pastor was white would have Obama have done the same thing, its a matter of character.
