Gallup: Obama Up By 3
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Independents, McCain, Polls, RepublicansThe race tightened up over the weekend, but now Obama has opened up the normal 3 point lead he has had over the past couple months.
What’s next? Gallup explains…
Campaign activity from this point forward will begin to intensify, with the pending announcement of Obama’s vice-presidential choice, the Democratic convention, McCain’s own announcement of his vice president, and the Republican convention.The degree to which all of these events will affect voter preferences in the presidential race could go a long way towards determining the eventual winner of the election in November.
Do you think these Veep announcements will be important? My guess is that they will be, especially McCain’s given concerns about his age.
More tomorrow…

So far it seems like no Saddleback fallout for Obama, we’ll probably know by tommorow or day after, but if this holds true then it may support a theory i’ve had about Saddleback, while McCain may have won the night, since some people seem to prefer decisiveness over nuance (after eight years of Bush I have to ask why?), his answers on abortion may turn off many female voters who didn’t know his stance on Abortion, his Maverick sheen wore off in the forum, he may have won the battle but lost the war.
