McCain Ahead?

Amazing, really

WASHINGTON — The Republican National Convention has given John McCain and his party a significant boost, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the weekend shows, as running mate Sarah Palin helps close an “enthusiasm gap” that has dogged the GOP all year.
McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican’s biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points.

There’s still a long long way to go in this election, but who would have possibly thought 6 months ago that things would be this close?

    Picking Duncan Hunter of Tom Tancredo in the first place would have nipped the “enthusiasm gap” in the bud. BUt hey, I won’t complain about how things worked out.
