Who Needs a Bounce When you can Slam Dunk

Who Needs a Bounce?

The headlines could have read, "Voters say Kerry is 'better qualified' to be commander in chief, 52-44 percent." Or they could have said, "Bush approval rating at an all-time low." Instead, after a flurry of post-convention polls, the media all flogged the "Kerry got a weak bounce!" storyline. Never mind that the only person who was "predicting" a massive bounce was GOP pollster Mark Dowd -- for most of the media, the Democratic Convention in Boston could be written off as an abject failure. But that obscures the fact that the polls are offering some rather encouraging signs for John Kerry and the Democrats.

Aint ya glad we have a liberal press?
