It is an incomplete picture, certainly, but the initial signals are promising from the Obama campaign's perspective.<BR/><BR/>I hesitate to fall back on this "things will settle back in to the equilibrium that existed prior to the conventions" argument. Conventional wisdom would tell us that that is the case, but all the same, we aren't going to know for sure until things do in fact settle down. The compression of the two VP rollouts and the conventions really make parsing out the trends a difficult enterprise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
