Thanks a lot. My kids just asked me what I was laughing about. "Ummm.... Noooothing."

It's not four points from yesterday to today. The Gallup daily tracking went up two points in two days, four points since the end of the convention; and yes, his numbers are trending along the standard post-convention "bounce."

But that is not the point. My point was that you were arguing with something I never said. Which I thought was odd of you. Though frankly, I might add, not surprising.

This is the video of her address to the AIP at this years convention. I nominate Cali for the role of Don John.

Probably not, because it would make you look crazy.
You got her nailed Cali. Sarah Palin is seeking the office of VP to carry out her secret plan for Alaskan secession. She's being extra coy about it by not ever mentioning her support of Alaskan secession and quietly attending an AIP convention 14 years ago (according to varied reports). I also think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that when she wished them a successful convention she was sending a coded message saying Get US out of Alaska!

On this issue Cali you have been successful and inspiring. Keep up the good work!

Yes they are, Cali.

She favors secession for Alaska (even recorded the keynote speach for the Alaskan secession party THIS YEAR!
It's also funny to read you calling HER ticket "the McCain camp". It's her camp; who else is going to respond to BS?

From the blog post to which you link...

Quote:
Officials of the AIP say Palin was once a member, but the McCain campaign -- providing what it says is complete voter registration documentation -- says Palin has been according to official records a lifelong Republican.

(Which to be honest seems more in keeping with the ambitious pol. Republicans have a much better track record than the AIP.)

Rasmussen with leaners shows 3 overnight. I (mistakenly) thought Gallup showed 4.

I'm still waiting for Cali's evidence that Palin supported secession. He has provided none.
