Hopefully, she has a plan for PA. A 4+ point democratic advantage in November is possible while loosing PA and the Electoral Colllege. GA can be swapped for MI or WI, but not PA.

I read the New Yorker article earlier this morning. It’s a fascinating profile of RFKJr. in which the bear incident plays such a minor role that, were it not for the photo, you’d hardly notice it at all. RFKJr. does not come off well in the profile, but not because of the bear – it’s almost as if RFK responded dramatically to this part of the story to draw attention away from the rest of the article. The bear receives only these two paragraphs in a very long profile (which I reproduce in case many can’t get access via David K’s link):
ne day, in the fall of 2014, Kennedy was driving to a falconry outing in upstate New York when he passed a furry brown mound on the side of the road. He pulled over and discovered that it was the carcass of a black-bear cub. Kennedy was tickled by the find. He loaded the dead bear into the rear hatch of his car and later showed it off to his friends. In a picture from that day, Kennedy is putting his fingers inside the bear’s bloody mouth, a comical grimace across his face. (When I asked Kennedy about the incident, he said, “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm.”)
Kennedy with the carcass of a black-bear cub, in 2014. “Maybe that’s where I got my brain worm,” he said.
After the outing, Kennedy, who was then sixty and recently married to Hines, got an idea. He drove to Manhattan and, as darkness fell, entered Central Park with the bear and a bicycle. A person with knowledge of the event said that Kennedy thought it would be funny to make it look as if the animal had been killed by an errant cyclist. The next day, the bear was discovered by two women walking their dogs, setting off an investigation by the N.Y.P.D. “This is a highly unusual situation,” a spokeswoman for the Central Park Conservancy told the Times. “It’s awful.” In a follow-up piece for the Times, which was coincidentally written by Tatiana Schlossberg, one of J.F.K.’s granddaughters, a retired Bronx homicide commander commented, “People are crazy.”

It seems almost a little obvious now in retrospect. Even apart from anything else about Shapiro, a folksy school teacher/national guardsman fills a hole that another lawyer simply doesn’t.
I was initially hoping for Kelly but he didn’t appear to have the right charisma for the moment despite his amazing story and credentials.
And there’s no reason Shapiro can’t still be a big asset in PA.

Sort of like Sherrod Brown? Not sure what craggy means in Walz’s case.

I think that “event” is scheduled for the 9th.
It’s Trump’s only campaign appearance for the entire week.
He’s really flailing, and his entire campaign apparatus is in meltdown.

Well, I was thinking about it, and Gorsuch is right. There are too many laws and Harris used to prosecute people who broke those laws. The legal system is often referred to as the scales of justice. What else can has scales? Fish! I can’t vote for Harris because she’s actually a Deep One bent on destroying mankind.

PHILADELPHIA (The Borowitz Report)—Responding to Vice President Harris’s choice of Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday, Donald J. Trump claimed that the Minnesota governor “was never white before.”
“I saw him on television many, many times, and, quite frankly, he was never white,” Trump said. “Then, he suddenly became white.”
Hinting that “there’s something going on,” Trump said that Walz’s “last-minute decision to become white” was “something that should be looked into.”
Asked what Walz was before he became white, Trump responded, “I think Walz is some kind of a dance. So what is he, white or a dance? I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t.”

Naw! Now that Republicans delivered the long clamored abortion ban, there is no way Iowans will ever vote Democrat again.
