Smart. There are no actual numbers, just the Harris team spinning claiming they're weak (which post-debate state polls are not bearing out) to keep energizing the base.

lol don't go in there. Meanwhile: The Loomer saga is breaking through. I used to have these same questions about Hope Hicks for the record, but most access journos like Haberman, Nuzzi, etc. all fostered personal relationships with Hicks. Loomer is too rabid for that.

The Atlantic once again takes a bold contrarian stance, only to get ratioed and fall on its face mid-article while the author begins equivocating on Twitter admitting his own headline is wrong and responding to Trump bots created in July.

Twenty years ago.

They already went down there and have real stakes, so yeah I'd rather watch them than yet another story being hijacked for more of over the hill Jason, whose usefulness has long since run out for this show.

A good WaPo piece from David Ignatius re: Harris in the Situation Room as VP. (Apparently not paywalled, at least for me)

They're trying so hard, but nothing is sticking outside of the dead-ends.

The lovely and talented Spencer Treat Clark (Steven Frame, AW), last seen by many of us whilst getting railed by fellow soap kid Jake Weary on Animal Kingdom, is one of the undead in the much-delayed straight-to-Max adaptation of Stephen King's Salem's Lot. (My favorite of his books, for the record) You can see him both alive and dead here:

And nothing will change because they bumped the numbers a little. Tired.

This should probably be put in here too. Absolutely incredible.

Of course Jason has to be key to the Lucky in Africa business. God.

I just don't care. There is no need for that.

It's ridiculous, but so typical of a lot of vet stories under this and the Passanante/Altman regimes. They need to hire a real love interest for Rena (with a contract, Frank) and dig deep into her missing years off-canvas.

To be clear, virtually all of them except Douthat and one other said Harris won. But still:

If it stands (which I am not convinced it will) it's a win for Harris too. It would be almost impossible to crush him with the same impact twice - the media would hyper-grade on a curve to try to recreate some sort of comeback narrative.

It has to be something where she's just going to embrace her natural self, because oh my God it sounds terrible. Jason is never going to sleep with Ava Jerome, Sonny's sworn enemy. That being said I don't think Korte is ever going to put Jason and Carly over.
