Do you think the Romney/Ryan ticket will get a bounce in polls out of their convention?

I think they will get a 3-5 point bounce which may even have them leading a few national polls, but it will be short-lived and then the Dems will have their convention, beginning a few days later which will neutralize any bounce they have--and hopefully add a few points to the president's column.

Of course the only bounce they might get is the one provided by Palin look-a-like strippers at all the strip clubs they will frequent:

Dems should have a strong convention for people to keep in mind.

And I think the US Flag Code at least implies that oil-soaked stripper butts should not be sitting on one.
