Bounce? What Bounce?

Mickey Kaus says the Obama health care speech had pretty limited results:
WaPo reports that in the days after Obama's speech, the Dem health care plan was opposed by a 48 to 46 margin--versus a 50-45 margin in mid-August. ... From five points down to two points down. That's all he got for playing the joint-session-prime-time-address card? Does that seem like enough to you? ... P.S.: "[S]eniors remain solidly opposed to health-care reform, and the number who think government involvement would do more harm than good continues to rise ... "
They call this a "dead cat bounce". Slightly up and then stays down forever.

There's another reason to call it a "dead cat" bounce. That's probably the demographic that ACORN polled, the dead cats.

If Obama hopes to get anything up he will need more than VIAGRA, he will need a plan that taxpayers will accept.
