Last week's Eye Poll was one of the more interesting to watch. We started it just following the announcement that Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. Over the weekend and early last week, the press (and the Daily Kooks) were busy emptying Governor Palin's closet along with that of her 17 year old daughter. So it was no surprise that the Obama's safety net took an early double digit lead.
By the end of the week, following Ms. Palin's powerful speech the numbers in our unscientific Eye Poll changed and changed big. At the end of the day, Governor Palin was chosen as the best Vice Presidential pick with 55% of Eye readers selecting the Governor from Alaska, 41% selecting Senator Biden, 5% insisting that neither was a good choice (read it here).
Interestingly, there wasn't a single reader that didn't care which candidate was the better choice. Could the race be tightening up? Have Republicans finally found the excitement they've been lacking? It's certainly possible.
Before the Democratic and Republican conventions we ran an Eye Poll on the presidential election. We hoped to be able to see if either candidate picked up any momentum coming out of their convention. We're running the exact presidential poll again this week. Don't forget to vote!

Anyone can bash the other party and you can call it a "powerful" speech. I was not impressed by her. Mccain talks about change, he wants to change what he screwed up in the first place. I hope those two idiots dont win. Our country cant take anymore protectors of the rich.
Yet we can take someone like Obama who is aligned with a terrorist (Ayers)...and before it sprouts wings just because he hasnt bombed anything lately...neither has Osama Bin Laden. We need a guy who chooses to play basketball over seeing wounded troops in the hospital. He's th best choice because he has the ability to throw everyone in his past under the bus if it benifits his career. And best of all a first lady thats proud to be American for the first time in her life. He wont even wear the flag of the country he wants to run without public pressure. He's an idiot that deserves to be baten in a landslide like no other candidate ever before.
Yup, above poster is correct! I just don't trust Obama; he's not worthy of being President. That comment his wife made about being "proud to be an American for the first time in her life" should bury him.....he's shady, he's hinky, he's not the real deal, please everyone, stop drinking the Kool-Aid!!
Yummy Governor Palin, that skirts got my vote!!
Bla Bla Bla Republican babble. And yes she is hot. That's all
Go organize a community or something.
