H. has been falling in the polls lately, and is under fire for the "lipstick" comment, as well as string of embarrassing associations. While McCain may be merely enjoying a typical post-convention bounce that could fade away over the next few weeks, at this time McCain is leading in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll.

Some are stating that H. could have "Palin-proofed" himself had he chosen Hillary for Vice President instead of Joe Biden. I'm not sure about that, but one thing I suspect... somewhere today, Hillary has her eyes on 2012, and is laughing at the recent downturn of events for H.
