But if they don't get a significant bump with the announcement of the VP and the convention then it will probably be neck n' neck until the election (unless something significant happens or is uncovered between now and then).
IMHO this says quite a lot about how poor the blue team are at putting it together when it counts. With the way things are now in regard to folks feelings about Bush and the general feeling about the red team they should have been running away with this thing from the get go – and they have not.
As for Obama going on the offensive - not surprising. He has shown time and again that he is not unlike every other politician. The sad thing is that the American public has shown time and again for all their talk about not wanting all the mud slinging, that mud slinging is what seems to move the poll numbers.
