Probably more true this year than others. Biden should probably still be focused on holding the crucial states like PA/WI/MI, but thereâs not really any indication that those are âslipping away,â and states like AZ/NC/GA etc. have value as Electoral College backup plans + senate seats to fight for.
Anyone know if there has been an update on those PA counties which announced earlier that they are inexplicably waiting until after election day to count mail-in ballots? I canât find anything. Please tell me that was fixedâŚ
I was shocked that M.Romney didnât get dragged for being LDS during his recent run. Really surprised. It was a big deal that J.Kennedy was Catholic. That wasnât that long before.
I hate to sound all polly-annish⌠but Iâd chalk it up to the world getting better.
I donât think Joe Bidenâs travel schedule matters at all but going to OH is very weird. No senate race, basically no chance of being a make or break state, I just donât understand.
Nor even a noteworthy milkshake as far as I can tell
My guess is they think theyâve tied up the necessary loose ends and want to end it on election night and not have to wait on days and weeks of lawsuits. I donât agree with it but thatâs the only justification I can see.
As nate c notes, it counts votes fast.
In the age of fascist shenanigans, I think thereâs an argument to give yourself more paths to victory. It may not be as true as it once was to simply say âat the point where he wins Ohio, he obviously already hit 270â.
Man I thought for sure that going straight to Trumpâs YouTube feed that I would discover a bunch of propaganda on Kamala that just hasnât been targeted at us, but youâre right. A shocking lack of attacks on her. Maybe they decided to keep their wad chambered for once? For a future attack, of course.
Maybe Biden getting endorsed by DeWine?
Otoh, Trump campaigning harder for Biden than Biden. Wasnât Trump in PA yesterday or today? No wonder Biden feels like he can campaign in states meaningless to his victory.
Bonus Melania
No chance, DeWine recently hosted a superspreader Trump rally (and is still hated by deplorables for being insufficiently deplorable and at least trying on COVID).
Ok that seems dumb
One time
No chance. Maybe Kasich.
Theyâve taken the Adam Sandler approach to campaigning. May as well go somewhere fun!
These events get a lot of local media coverage, which tends to be consumed by likely voters and seniors.
