North Carolina is always just out of range, aside from 2008, so I have a feeling we'll end up back there. Sometimes I wonder if they should put money elsewhere but when it's that close I can see why they are torn.

Nevada is the one where I am most torn because it was stubbornly against Biden for months of polling and is difficult to poll. Maybe they just needed fresh blood (and as much as efforts will be made to tie Harris to Biden's record, she is seen as fresh blood in many ways). I hope so.

Some of the media and the GOP have been trying to turn the Arlington PR stunt gone wrong (the tiktok they made of it is stomach-churning - for the sake of any hope I have for this country's future I hope it isn't effective) around on Harris, even though she has said nothing about the matter. This may be the most blatant example yet. I would rarely suggest you watch the Ozempic king in action (and if you don't have Twitter you probably can't anyway) but you can see here just how much he is consumed by hatred and misogyny, and clearly rattled at just what a bad position he is in (especially now that he is fourth or fifth in his own campaign structure below Trump, the Trump family, the whale decapitator and Cruella).

I think we will take both NC and GA (again). We've been up in NC in some other polling recently. It's tight but I suspect it happens. Nevada, I think it's possible.

The media has scrambled to try to tamp down the Arlington mess for Trump but I don't think it's going to work.

I appreciate you referring to RFK as 'the whale decapitator'. What a tale that was.

And we especially need a Democratic Congress in addition to Harris getting in the White House because the right-wingers in the SCOTUS are currently scuttling common sense proposals from the Biden/Harris administration like allowing undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens who are in good standing a pathway to citizenship and student loan debt forgiveness. SCOTUS is in effect, blocking millions of people from getting a chance for a fresh start in life and the only way around them is to vote these programs into laws that focus on reform.

It’s a miracle that this even got through.

After so many talking heads were dismissive of Biden’s and Harris’ talk of price gouging being a problem, Kroger admits to doing just that.

Say whatever you like about Tim Walz and his (not exaggerated) military record, but you'd never catch him creating a national incident at our nation's most revered burial place for veterans!

    • Xander was screaming at Felicity.  He did do something wrong.  Felicity was clearly upset by it and Cat/Chad told him to stop.  That's fair.  No one deserves to be yelled at their job-and even I think this plot point is too preachy.  It's not acceptable behavior for anyone to do that.   
    • When Derek finally appears with only a towel, and his chest and pecs/nipples are finally shown, I say yes.

    • Now, actually not. That thought had not even made it into my head, so, no, so far anyway, I've not seen that. Haven't seen today yet. What you're describing is warped & I think she's feeling genuine empathy & sister bond. 
    • Xander was the bigger person apologizing to Cat when he didn't do anything wrong.  he wasn't yelling at Felicity whatsoever, he was asking if she possibly had given them the wrong order by mistake.  He was trying to get to the bottom of what was going on, but Chad/Cat were trying to white knight Felicity even though Felicity was being treated just like anyone else in that situation.   She was the one to bring the order out to them, and usually the person that brings the order out is the one that puts the order together.    I'm still getting a read on the Cat character.   I think she seems to work well when interacting with everyone other than Chad.   Perhaps the new writers can move Cat out of Chad's orbit into another orbit. Paulina has been written quite well the few times she's been on since the writer change.  I think Jackee is enjoying the new writing.. you can tell when she's on screen.  
    • LOL - well, Peter was included in the grandkids' section, each named specifically with their $100K trusts.  It must have been the abs...

        In Henry's will, he said it had to do with Hart having a chance at being a better person than his father, since his father isn't providing for him (I'm paraphrasing here, but it was about Roger).  Still a little surprised...
    • I'm glad the truth is all out regarding Roman and Kate's secrets from each other, and also happy Roman didn't make much of the letter forgery, because why would he even care? They are a good solid couple. However, not to be mean, when Roman had his little flashback at the DiMera mansion he seemed more like an old man that was lost. How wonderfully aggravating that we still don't know what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot. I can't wait to find out. I've my feelings clear on Paulina, but she was definitely written much more adult and Jackée even seemed a bit toned down, for the better. Nothing boring about either scenes for me. I like the little drama between Xander and Cat, for the newness of the interaction alone. AnnaLynne McCord is much better at material where she's not acting dementedly lovesick. Seeing that side to Cat was integral to remembering she's not a moron, and I am definitely intrigued by the heck could be calling her. Kevin Lambert returning is a cute little surprise. I never watched Chadwick Hopson in the role though, was he any good?

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!!
