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.

Important Trend

 We are starting to see octogenarians step aside and not run for reelection. I don't know if Biden had chosen to step aside if that might have made a difference. I guess running a governor would have been smart, and maybe Harris was hurt by the lack of a primary mandate. Tough to say, but I can be persuaded.

What I do know is that several House members decided to run for reelection despite having grim cancer and health diagnoses and two have died, leaving the seats vacant.
