McCain takes a VP; Obama takes the lead
McCain’s choice for VP may have just sealed the deal for Obama. His VP is a woman with more conservative ideals than even John McCain. Supposedly he did this to appeal to Hillary supporters, like they are stupid or something. She is no equal to Hillary. Now more polls are appearing with Obama finally taking a good lead.
Thanks to TPM Election Central: “More And More Polls Show Obama’s Lead Expanding

Eric Kleefeld - September 2, 2008, 9:46AM; It’s starting to look like John McCain’s historic selection of Sarah Palin hasn’t done him any favors in the polls. Here’s this morning’s
Rasmussen tracking poll: Obama 51%, McCain 45%, outside of the ±2% margin of error. Obama was up 49%-46% yesterday, suggesting that Palin’s scandals may have helped him to double his lead in just one day of sampling.
And the new Hotline/Diageo poll has Obama up 48%-39%, compared to a 44%-40% lead from just one week ago. Late Update: Three more polls all show Obama leading by a substantial margin. The daily Gallup tracking poll has Obama up 50%-42% — the first time ever that he’s reached the 50% threshold in their poll. The USA Today/Gallup poll has Obama up 50%-43%, and ARG has Obama up 49%-43%.
There is also yesterday’s CBS poll, which gave Obama a 48%-40% lead.”
