It appears if the convention does go on about 4 people in each state will be watching as most will be focused on the storm.
Is this going to hurt the Republicans and cause the McCain / Palin ticket to not get the traditional "convention bounce" in the polls?

CC1,
I was surprised to see Rasmussen polls putting Obama 3 points (49% to 43%) ahead after the leaning figures were added. This after the Convention and Palin announcement.
I think I read that it will take another week or so for the Palin thing to kick in for a better poll.
One good thing is that Obama used to have a 210 to 165 lead in the Electoral College vote. Now he's only leading by 10 - 193 to 183.
