Predict the GOP Convention Bump

Regardless, it will be short lived. It's good that our convention is last.

I expect the Republicans to get a one to three percent sympathy bump because of Hurricane Isaac hitting their convention and making life a little tough for the climate-deniers and green-bashers attending their big pow-wow.

RNC is going to be all about Isaac...and how the tough Republicans made it through. "Could the Democrats have had a convention? People are asking..."

I plan to only watch the weather channel - the news will just make me sick.

"Oh did you hear - Sarah Palin can field dress a moose" type dialogue - no thanks!
