Actually, I don't know if I could have designed a better VP pick for McCain if I had tried.

It appears the bump toward 50% which he has received in both Gallup and Rasmussen polls is tied to the news about Palin's daughter (not sure what other news event it could be associated with). Before that, his convention "bump", such as it was, had dwindled.
If this little jump truly represents the public reacting to the Bristol Palin pregnancy, it's not something I would be popping a lot of champagne over. Besides being a pretty distasteful way to claim a lead (yes, I know about Obama's statement), it also likely means it's quite tenative.
