    John James?

    According to his bio, he "attended" U-M, as well as Paterno State.

    His schtick is telling blacks to vote for him because Obama didn't do enough for blacks.

    John James: ‘Battle-tested, ready to lead’ … and a black American for Trump

    James has also bucked the GOP trend by mildly breaking with Fucko on several issues and declining to get into a personal pissing attack on Debbie Stabenow, a frumpy grandma type who would seem a prime target for such GOP attacks.

    He seems less personally reprehensible than most of the GOP Uncle Toms. but he has wrapped his arms around The Pig.

    So early voting is super higher than it was in the last midterm, and in some places approaching what it was in 2016. Is this a sign of increased voter enthusiasm (on both sides, it'd have to be) or are most of them like me, people who always voted but are totally into the convenience of early voting?

    Don James had a decent run as a college football coach at one of the Michigan schools.

    Why didn’t Randy mention that in his tweet?

    John James was a pretty good punter back in the day. Why didn't he mention that?

    I assume it's some of both, but mainly increased enthusiasm. Here in Georgia, a couple of counties already had more early votes through Tuesday (or some day earlier this week, anyway) than they had total votes in the 2014 midterms, so that's enthusiasm. I assume there will be several more counties in that situation by the time early voting ends today.

    In most states, early voting has been an option for several election cycles, hasn't it? It seems like the % of those voting early should have stabilized by now. I'm with you; it's much more convenient. I wish our newspaper would make its endorsements earlier, though - it still waits until the Sunday before election day, which seems misguided when so many votes have already been cast.

    2016 was the first election we had it here in Mass. It's the best. The local elementary school is our Election Day polling place. It was rebuilt in the late '00s and is beautiful, but now has about a fourth as many parking spaces. Makes voting there mucho difficult until like 4 p.m. So early voting at the town hall it is.

    Three times I've had women stumping for Clair McCaskill knock on my door, but I haven't seen one Republican stumper. Yesterday I told the two women who came to my door that I'd sooner vote for a three-legged dog than vote for Josh Hawley. Hawley, who all but sucked Trump's dick at the airport-only rally yesterday. Hawley, whose name is on the lawsuit to allow insurance providers to quit covering pre-existing conditions. Hawley, who supported Outsider. Navy SEAL. former governor Eric Greitens until there was blood in the water and it was OK to abandon him.

    Fucking Hawley can eat a bag of assholes.
