I'm guessing Obama will be up by 5 or 6 points on Sunday, and the headlines going into the GOP convention will be "Where is the Obama Convention Bounce?" with articles dissecting how the convention was a failure. After the GOP convention, the race will be tied again, and that same MSM will report on the rousing success of their gathering, ignoring the fact that their "bounce" was less than Obama's. Mark it down. With the MSM carryin McCain’s water, anything less than a 15 point bounce will be reported as a disappointment.

Of course, so far the DNC has gone far better than I ever thought it would with key speakers delivering in a big way and everything going off without a hitch. The chaos and drama the MSM was hinting at (hoping for?) never materialized, and as a result of the low expectations, the smoothness with which everything's been carried out and the class and grace both Clintons have exhibited looks that much better.
