Obama’s poll numbers slip; cliches rise rapidly

By Marilyn Geewax | Monday, August 18, 2008, 03:08 PM

On this past weekend’s edition of “The Journal Editorial Report” on FOX News Channel, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page editor Paul Gigot discussed a new poll showing that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s lead over Republican rival John McCain has dwindled.

He asked Democratic pollster Doug Schoen whether allowing a roll-call vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton at the Democratic convention would hurt Obama. Schoen replied: “I think time will tell. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak. We’ll have to see how the process plays out.”

Schoen forgot to mention that still waters run deep, and the early bird catches the worm. Not to mention, it’s not over until the fat lady sings.
