Follow the Bouncing Poll Number

Well, well, well. Kerry Edwards is subdued about the effect of the convention on the polls.

Former New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen told the group that her daughter graduated from USC Law School and that her son-in-law had been stationed at Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter. She thanked the delegation for the state’s hospitality to her kin.

Then she gave them a little downer and told them not to fret about it.

“We do not expect a huge bounce coming out of this convention,” she said, speaking of the lift in the polls parties typically enjoy after they hold these pre-election meetings.
