Election 2024 Foreplay

  1. Joe will go to Pennsylvania every other week. Just as he did last time and even during his administration.

    There are swing votes there and that is the only destination where he can comfortably be home at night.

    Will we get to hear the same hard-scrap Scranton stories again for the 15th time?

  4. Heh, is a bear Catholic? Doe the Pope shit in the woods? Of course we will.

    Wonder if Vivek and Christie will reach the 6% poll #'s required for a showing on 12/6 in Tuscaloosa?

    I can’t tell if this general election will be a sleepy one or a true fizzle yet but don’t expect too much voter excitement.

    Trump may do well to draw Biden out into the rust belt though. If I were Trump after the nomination I would launch from Minnesota and Wisconsin. And Biden needs to make Arizona competitive.

    Why? I say this with the upmost sincerity when I say this has been the singularly most boring and predictable primary season I have ever witnessed. The voters are locked and are genuinely looking forward to the general election. Any intra-party debating is a waste at this point. And from a viewing perspective, the debates have been a snooze fest.

  8. Some media appear to report that Vivek already qualifies. I have not looked at the detail but have no reason to question it yet.

    On the other hand, Christie appears to be declaring himself qualified because he has had additional donors. Problem is some media question whether one of his polls is a valid poll. But the RNC gets to decide. Sounds like he is at least within striking distance. Maybe Tim dropping out will give him another point or so.

    All the more reason for the GOP to keep Vivek out there regardless of his poll #'s.

  10. It is a weird scenario. Generally when there is a low level of excitement it also involves a low level of interest and concern by voters.

    But it is not like that now. There is a HIGH level of concern within both parties but also a HIGH level of resignation about the inevitability of the lead candidates.

    But any sign of real blood in the water or real vulnerability would turn the whole thing into a vicious sharkfest.

    I guess you were talking about the general election though. But I will similarly say that it could be a sleeper until it isn't. If neither candidate can get 270 because a third party has bled off some electoral votes (and the vote goes to the House) that WILL NOT be a sleeper.

    Also Joe could go tits up at any time before or after the nomination which would also NOT BE sleeper. Joe is not going to make it through two full terms - even one is questionable. A vote for Joe is a vote for a constitutional crisis. But for those who think like dems rather than Americans, that's fine. They just want the D after the name of the President.
