The Sound of the Crowd

Bouncing Like A Ball

So I’ve noticed that how much of a “bounce” Kerry/Edwards got coming out of the convention seems to depend a lot on what you read. I’ve seen Newsweek saying they got a small boost, ABC saying they got a larger one, and CBS saying they got no bounce at all.

Fortunately, Eric Alterman pointed out this morning, most of these polls were taken during the convention. As in, before it was over. Meaning, since Kerry’s speech closed the convention…before most Americans had any chance to hear Kerry speak.

It’s a good thing the media’s so liberal, isn’t it?
