My mother called my house this morning to inquire about how one sets up an internet grassroots movement to draft John McCain for the Presidency. This seriously shifts polling results in the crucial Immediate Lane Family demographic, leaving Bush, McCain and Kerry tied for first place (20% each), with 40% of the respondents not yet responding. If my father has shifted to McCain as well, that will put McCain in first place for the first time since 1999… and will probably trigger a further shift away from Kerry, as my younger sister sees which way the political winds are flowing. Still, that drop for Bush is pretty darn steep; he was polling 60% among Immediate Lane Family members a year ago*.
Before all y’all get excited about this, bear in mind that I’m the only Republican in the bunch: I’m pretty sure that my mom’s ready to recruit McCain for the Democratic ticket. How I’m going to explain the, um, difficulties in this to her while remaining a dutiful son remains an exercise for the interested student…

Could it have been… six months ago?
