Talk Left may be the most civilized of the left’s political blogs. And there are a couple of very good contributors, particularly Big Tent Democrat (in addition to Jeralyn, the owner). It is true that McCain got what BTD is optimistically calling a convention bounce, but his comment on it is very much worth taking seriously:
Personally, I think the Media and Democratic surrogates have done McCain a great favor by aiming all their fire on Sarah Palin. Time to get back to the McCain/Palin = Bush’s Third Term message. It’s been lost for more than a week.
There are six weeks left.
