Negative Bounce

Barack Hussein Obama named Joe Biden as his vice presidential nominee and got a negative bounce from that action. This CNN article reports a poll taken after the announcement that shows McCain and Obama tied up at 47% each. The article quotes CNN Polling Director Keating Holland:
This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month. Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain.

This Gallup Poll reports the two tied at 45% each, again there is no bounce.

Oh, my, what can the matter be?
