Barry will get a small bounce from the convention, and if he picks Joe Biden things will start going downhill around mid-September, once the GOP smear machine paints the ticket as the 1st and 3rd most liberal members of the Senate (according to the National Journal ratings)....and both of whom, I might add, are to the left of the socialist dude from Vermont.
You don't think the GOP will bring up that neat little tidbit of info? LOL
I just have to say right now that the National Journal survey was trash. There was hardly any methodology or what they considered a "liberal" or "conservative" vote.
Plus, Obama has only been a senator for a couple years from when they conducted the research that they did.
