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.

Biden/Harris

Dana Houle, who knows more about campaign law than you or I do, notes that the alternative to Biden is Harris and only Harris. Campaigns are entities that don't simply change hands like Pokemon cards. Biden could probably transfer everything to Harris, because she's part of the current campaign, but Johnny Unbeatable would need to start from scratch in ways that would be just as - if not more -  catastrophic than running the old guy (unless the old guy is genuinely impaired, in which case we are back to Harris).

There also seems to be some spine growing among Democratic voters and politicians about Biden. Yes...this sucks, and the debate proved that Biden (like Mueller and the Senate and Garland and Jack Smith) isn't going to save us. 

We are.

On Election Day.
