All good thoughts, but I quibble with your view that it’s tough to see Harris losing a Blue Wall state but winning NC or GA. There is not a one to one correlation. I lived in both states and know the Rs there. Many are “Normies” not MAGA. Are they really coming out to vote for Trump and the obscene Mark Robinson or will they sit this one out? In GA, Trump’s antics led to 2 Ds Sens being elected last time. Many Rs there resent his assaults on Kemp and Rafensberger. Without any Sen or Gov race on the ballot, will that depress GA turnout by Rs? These are factors particular to those states and unrelated to the Blue Wall states.

San Francisco liberal trying to win in the Midwest?!? Not gonna happen. I don’t believe knucklehead helps her one bit. MN will be blue with or without him. VP made an unbelievable mistake not taking Shapiro putting PA in her pocket. It’s really amazing to think about. It’s politics 101!

In NC, the difficulty in voting that may result from the storm aftermath should help Dems. It is hard to imagine Republicans, especially squishy ones, going the extra mile to vote for Mark Robinson and/or Trump.

Chris, could Mark Robinson’s lunacy actually put North Carolina into play for the Democrats?

As a GenX goth girl the news of a new Cure album made my whole year. 🙂 And yes that is a very long intro!

Political campaigns DO go on way too long. Politicians are gonna do politics in season and out, but it would be great to see their publicly visible periods drastically shortened. I have ideas on how to do that, not original with me.

Your analysis leaves out an important fact:

North Carolina will not be able to vote or certify its vote because of the devastation.

Trump’s lawyers are salivating. What’s your take?

Katie Porter is terrible. She is just as bad as the Republicans who complain about rigged elections. She is awful to her staff.

It was shameful for Porter to hurl Trump type charges after the primary. She can be effective in Congress, but I don’t know that she has an executive temperament

Robert Smith still has it ! I really enjoyed tonight’s Chris Crucial 👍

My bet is that Harris will win the sunbelt states and everyone will be amazed. But those are the easiest for her in my opinion. We will see.

My husband is a crazy Cure fan. We saw them this summer and I was really surprised how much I loved the new songs. This one is very good, albeit intense and emotional. But there are a couple more from the concert that I’m salivating for the release! Thanks for the share.
