    I care more about her experiences. She has had a big rise to get to vp. However, she was a subpar attorney. As a jr attorney (starting position), her performance evaluations were poor. She got ahead by sleeping with Willlie Brown (powerful person at the time in the ca assembly as well as later on mayor of Sf.

    Mayor Brown was actually a descent mayor of sf. Kept sf cleaner than what it became now (cesspool/vacant offices). However, he was married and still banged her. At the time, she was quite young and it looked more like a “father- daughter.”

    For phuqing Willie, she was rewarded with two positions and she was not qualified for either.  At some point, the relationship broke off.

    She barely won the ca ag in 2010, a big year for Ds in the state. She underperformed. Then she became Senator and by all accounts was like the aoc for her position, a dunce.

  20. Vic, behavior by the two campaigns is often the number one indicator of where its going. Not a guarantee, because even their internal polling and analysis can miss something.

    But these factors with under three weeks to go, all tell a story:

    a) Behavior of the campaigns. Harris is getting more shrill and angry, or loopy and goofy, depending on the context. She is straining to find something that resonates, even if she says things that are immediately verifiable as false (like Trump is tired out and hiding). Meanwhile Trump is having a good time, enjoying himself, exuding confidence and leadership.

    b) Where the campaigns are holding events and campaigning. Harris is moving resources between Milwaukee and Philly, while Trump had rallies in CO, CA, and is planning one for New Hampshire and New York.

    c) Early voting. By all indications, the GOP is crushing the early vote compared to past elections, and not just cannibalizing their election day vote, but getting low-propensity voters locked in early. In NC the GOP leads outright in early voting, and its close in Florida. The reddest areas of Virginia have cranked out huge numbers.

    d) Lastly, the polling data. With under three weeks to go, the above factors are more important, but polling still has a role in telling the story, even with votes actively being cast. It won’t be long before there will be enough that pollsters will ask how they actually voted. But in recent days, there has clearly been movement in Trump’s direction, both nationally, and in the states. And the senate races have also moved in the direction of the GOP candidates.

    For me personally, one of the biggest polling indicators was when Morning Consult threw in the towel on the battleground states earlier this week. They were never Harris +5 or Harris +6, but for them to finally admit this means they wanted to have some kind of credibility after this election.

  27. I come here to get the relatively advanced election analysis that so many of you provide. Even the campaign anecdotes add color to the election.

    However, I notice that many point out the vast improvement in early voting that is undeniably occurring across the country by the GOP, especially when compared to past presidential elections.

    It seems to me that assuming overtly optimistic good things for the GOP MAY, MAY be somewhat poorly considered. In 2020, the DEMS overperformed in early vote because they were organized and their targeted voters were the very ones who were isolated and hunkered down due to fear of COVID. Added to that was the ridiculous push by Team Trump to tell everyone NOT to early vote but to wait until election day.

    They created a narrative that ballot harvesting was election stealing (in most states it is legal when the law is followed) and caused such suspicion about the disappointed Trump voters that they didnt turn out in Georgia for the run-off and caused the loss of one if not both of the senate seats in the January run-off.

    So, with the push by Team Trump to vote early and the lessened fear of the Dems of COVID, is the GOP improvement an indication of these factors, rather than an increase of motivation among GOP voters while DEM voters are less so?

    I early voted yesterday. It was packed. The county I vote in is strongly GOP-leaning. The registrar told me people were lined up both yesterday and the day before (when early voting started) before the polls opened. She said she had never seen anything like it in all of the years she had worked the polls.

    I only saw Trump bumperstickers on the vehicles in the parking lot, and there were about 7-8 GOP volunteers outside the poll and none for the Dems. There IS more activity than in previous years, but I am wondering if it is less an indication of a swing to the right but rather an indication that things we arent facing a COVID-motivated DEM base and a smarter GOP electorate this year.

    Just curious.

  29. oahodges, you are correct in your observations. But where it matters is the low-propensity voter. Trump has boots on the ground in the battleground status where early voting is happening, shaking every tree and locating people willing to vote for Trump, those who rarely ever vote. Banking THESE votes early is not cannibalizing election date vote.

    But these low propensity voters would be very difficult to get out on election day.

    I think a lot of conservative media such as Hannity are encouraging people to vote early. I have received several mailings from Trump and other GOP candidates urging me to vote early.

    I am skeptical about the positive effect of this except for two reasons:

    1. Supposedly once you vote you will be off the list and the GOP won’t expend any more resources to reach you, saving money that can be used to reach other voters.
    2. If you are incapacitated on election date for any reason, your vote is banked.

    North Carolina Early Voting Update – 10.19 Good morning, election followers. We kick off Saturday mornings with the last seven days of net change in NC voter registrations:

    Republicans: +8,746

    Democrats: +7,126

    Others: +18,742 Today, Republicans flipped the numbers, leading the in-person voting period by 691 votes. With two weekend days ahead, Democrats will take the lead and possibly return it next week. We’re on a see-saw to start. It goes without saying, but Democrats cannot go into election day with a raw turnout deficit; I do my best to stay measured and grounded with all possibilities ahead, but “Democrats are waiting to outvote Republicans on election day in North Carolina” is not one of them. Early on, NC is starting to shape up like Georgia. White and Republican out of the gate. Let’s see what kind of lead Democrats can build over the next two days and whether they begin relinquishing it again on Monday. Complete breakdowns of numbers are updated through today on the NC Sheet, including county breakdowns.

Their vehemence to vote is high, and their dislike for how the country is trending under dem leadership is equally clear. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a diminishing of interest in this election. People are geared up to vote out the current administration with continuing packed events. What remains a deterrent, IMO, is the cloud of dem fraud interfering with an honestly run election.

    Hype is a real danger. I recall well in 1984, back when there was much less polling, and much more reliance on anecdotal evidence, there was a concern right up to the end that Mondale could be closing the gap, and there would be the first female vice-president.

    But in more modern times, hype can easily be found on both sides, and its important to look outside either red bubbles or blue bubbles to determine what is actually happening.
