ARRGGHH!

McCain-Palin's convention bounce now gives them a five-point lead in the Gallup poll. This saddens me deeply. What does it say about the American public that you can shovel manure for a week on TV, but people eat it up like candy if you wrap it up in a nice package? What is wrong with people?

ALSO: Hey, Democrats, if they attack you with lies, attack them with the truth. You can't sit on your rear taking the high road and expecting the press to suss out the Republicans' lies. They'll make the election all about war hero McCain and supermom Palin. You need to change the narrative and focus the country's attention on their awful policies and their flagrant disregard for the truth.
