I got them to fill them out. Now, they “have to find a drop box.” He is so borderline, gets mad at kids vaping and says maybe he should just sit out voting (no idea how that helps). I have no problem with them saying it’s a dead heat. I’m hearing far too much, “yeah, yeah, I’ll vote, just busy now.” BTW, I’m a blue state, but we still need the numbers.

the situation is that sanity is in a dead heat with fascism. So for those of us in the reality-based world who don't want fascism, it's a very scary time

In other words Kamala is doing better in the target battleground sties than national. GA is a surprise.

Harris may be ahead, or Trump may be ahead, is not the same as saying neither is ahead.

Don't the undecided not see any aging lunatic Trump talking about Arnold's penis? A mad fascist is a deadly fascist.

Had an interesting call Sunday morning with an individual extremely close /inside the Rosen Campaign.

Both of these stellar Americans (Harris and Jackie Rosen) are going to be beat their opponents to a pulp. I'm okay with Nevadans voting like their lives really depend on it . . . because they do.

But I think Harris and Rosen are running away with wins in Nevada.

a POTUS, and damn if they’re gonna change anytime soon. If I heard correctly from Simon Rosenberg, they are currently weighting their polls to make tRump look competitive as Kamala is pulling away dramatically. It all goes back to 2016 when they believe they underestimated support for the rapist. They don’t want to make that mistake again, so they’re overcompensating in the other direction.

That won't result in the media calling a dead heat. There is no lead (I mean they could be losing) and have the media lavish mythical praise on the Republicans. The media is bias toward the GOP. They have been my whole life.
