Gallup Daily: Obama Moves Ahead, 48% to 42%
The Daily Tracker is a joke because it’s national polling and because I don’t even like Gallup that much anyway, but this is great news reflecting the start of a convention bump.

The Democrat-running-scared types are saying the campaign should have been wiser in planning this. How in gods name could the campaign think “we’re going to build something styled after the Lincoln memorial on the 45th anniversary of one of the most famous speeches in American history that was at that location that just happens to coincide with our guy being the first black nominee, I hope republicans don’t analyze the style of the Lincoln memorial and correctly conclude its reminiscent of the Parthenon and other greek temples, and then say that our guy thinks hes god.” I mean we all know if it wasn’t the columns it would be the rock bands or the fireworks or something else. Republicans do this. This is what they do. Fuck it.

— John McCain, failing at a comeback
You think there’s a little time delay in this circuit, John? This is like being inside McCain’s brain.
