    They are campaigning in well-to-do suburban counties of the Philly, Detroit and Milwaukee metros.
    PS: Proper word is "electioneering."

    Bet they watch steeplechase horse racing and tailgate with caviar and Grey Poupon.

    I have a dear friend who lives in Chester County. She used to RIDE steeplechase. Had more injuries than a hockey player. She's aged out of riding. Now she keeps rescue horses. Yeah, it's that kind of place.

    He keeps claiming schools are transitioning kids without the parents' consent. Of all the lies he's told, that's the most bald-faced one.

    As best I can tell, nowhere in this press release did it say Harris did not work at McDonalds.
    So did I misread it, the person who posted it misread it or was it so poorly written that two presumably reasonable people could read it and come to totally different conclusions?

    Here is my impression of Lynn Cheney is the people who know about her and could distinguish her from an ordinary Jane on the street are already super attentive to politics and could have told you which party they were voting for in this election 10 minutes after the last one.

    Go talk to people whose lives are governed by a time clock. This ain’t debate club.

    I seriously doubt Burger King has any record of me working for them in 1996-98. I might find a W-2 form if I dig through my old shit deep enough.

    That was my last job before I got my first full-time journalism job. I made assistant manager at BK and got a small raise by changing jobs. Imagine those times.

    There is such a strong correlation between baseball and a presidential election. There are your diehards who will watch every game, drill down the minutiae, track the minor leagues, etc. Then there are those who will tune in near the end of the season and catch up on everything before the playoffs. I contend in politics that there are a lot more people in the latter camp. Two weeks from tomorrow Everything will be magnified from here on out. Closing messages matter.

    The purpose of Lynne Cheney for Harris is to create a permission structure for Republican women who don't like Trump but who're reluctant to go against their party to do so this one time.
