A key problem for the Biden team and for the Democratic Party is Kamala Harris. If Biden decides to not seek a second term, it is almost certain that Vice President Harris will be the shaky nominee.
The Democrats should embrace this opportunity to produce a splendid, news-dominating American pageant. For once, horse race coverage will actually be more important than issues coverage. With the nominee unknown, Putin and Trump will have a hard time targeting or strategizing.
This “debate” was incredibly sad. Sad to watch Joe Biden, like a fighter well beyond his prime, taking blow after blow. Always on his heels. Always reactive.

I was pleasantly surprised (starting from very low expectations) how much he recalled and how cogently he recited it. The downside to all the prepping is too much detail and no zingers.

A bit stagnant. A shadow of its former self. It’s heresy to say so, but in certain circumstances such as Buffalo’s, doldrums offer advantages in terms of quality of life, at least for those who remain and can earn a living.
His battle on behalf of the houseboats restored Pettus’ reputation and made him into a hero. Mayor Charles Royer designated March 7,1982 as Terry Pettus Day. The city set aside the street end just south of the houseboats as Terry Pettus Park in 1985.

Mennet gave the party $300,000 last month, according to the PDC, more than half of ithe party's 2021 haul thus far. That’s an unusually large donation, especially for an odd-numbered year.
