The bounce is goneNot a lot of movement today, as the numbers seem to have come back down to earth.

And some potentially troubling news for Obama?

In the race for the White House, there are nearly twice as many uncommitted voters as there were four years ago in late July.

While much has been made of John McCain’s struggles with his party’s conservative base, 33% of the uncommitted voters are Democrats while only 19% are Republicans.

I think this has more to do with the idea that there’s no incumbent running this time around, but still…if McCain can swing those Dems, he has a real shot at it.
