If one of John McCain’s objectives in picking Sarah Palin as VP was to stop the Obama news cycle, Wonkosphere can report: mission accomplished.  Obama’s buzz share in both liberal and conservative realms had been in the 60% range, peaking around 75% earlier in the week.  Over the last 24 hours, McCain now leads Obama in buzz share 60-40, effectively turning the tables on Obama’s convention bump.  We assume with the events of next week McCain will maintain or even increase this lead, knocking attention away from Obama for a good ten days.  The Republicans hope that all the upcoming attention is positive.
