Well, the number don't really support that interpretation. According to the Gallup daily polls, McCain got a bump from Palin that peaked on Sept 9th, with a 48%-43% lead - a 5% lead. At that point, their momentum stalled, and reversed. As people learned more and more about Palin, both her and McCain's numbers declined, and by the 14th - before the economic storm - it had declined to 47%-45% - a 2% lead. The numbers further eroded as people realized the it IS the economy, and the Republicans are the ones who led us into this mess. Now it is 48%-44% Obama - a stunning swing in a tight election within such a short period of time absent any major political events (conventions or debates). Note that today's numbers are a three day average that is two days behind, so today's number does not even fully reflect the crisis. Conflating Palin's drop with the economic crisis may make Palin supporters feel better, but it is not the reality. With well known conservative pundits piling on - George Will, Richard Cohen, Charles Krauthammer - Palin's brief shooting star is already on the decline.
