Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

My Only Hope

 Joe Biden's approval numbers are not great. This is what usually predicates a wipe-out in the midterms. My only hope is that a substantial amount of that those who are unhappy with Biden are people who remain Democrats but - being Democrats - expected Biden to completely erase the Trump legacy and hang the moon while he's at it. When they are forced to choose between Mehmet Oz or Herschel Walker and John Fetterman or Raphael Warnock, they will show up and do the right thing. But then again, elections are usually decided by people whose knowledge of politics is pretty sketchy, so...who knows.
