McCain time
Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at 10:11PM A couple of interesting McCain stories out there. Politico.com reports that, according to RNC internal polling, McCain holds a commanding lead over both Hillary and Obama. The operative word here, of course, is internal RNC polling, but it's impressive nonetheless.
Chuck Todd of NBC News, who I believe has established himself as the premier political analyst of this campaign season, has a different take on McCain. He thinks that as soon as the Democrats have a nominee, their candidate is going to see a "convention-like" bounce -- maybe as much as ten points -- irrespective of how long the battle drags out. It's not a matter of if McCain is down come labor day, but by how much, or so Todd believes.
Normally I'd agree with his analysis, but given how bitter the campaign has been, I'm not sure all the wounds will heal by election day. I think the eventual Democratic will get some type of bounce, but not a massive ten-pointer. Not this time around.
