if it's any consolation, D. Harris probably has the same impact on Kamala as Edward Said, Jeremiah Wright and Rashidi Khalidi had on Obama (little to none).

Here’s a somewhat flattering article of D, Harris from WaPo… www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/08/13/donald-harris-kamala-jamaica/He very much contributed to the economic development of Jamaica since 2012, including (from the article) “privatization of airports, tax reductions for businesses, and a corporate land registry — …strikingly nonideological.” Some socialist!

Far more pressing concerns than all this political nonsense, like Gabriel Landeskog potentially making it back for game 1 of the NHL season.
Local sportsball dates of relevance 9/2: Denver Outlaws vs Maryland Whipsnakes, 1st round PLL playoffs (winner advances to semifinal) 9/8: Denver Broncos @ Seattle Seahawks (1st regular season game) 9/23: Colorado Avalanche vs Dallas Stars (1st preseason game) - we play the new Utah squad (formerly the Coyotes) twice this preseason as well, home/away 9/29: Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers (mercifully, the final game of the year for our boys) 10/4: Denver Nuggets vs Boston Celtics (1st preseason game) - in Abu Dhabi 10/9: Colorado Avalanche @ Vegas Golden Knights (1st regular season game) 10/24: Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder (1st regular season game)
I am also informed by the nephew that the Rapids appear poised to return to the playoffs. So that's nice.

Harris had a bunch of relatives present at the convention, but not her father or the stepmother she’s never publicly mentioned. It seems safe to say they don’t have the warmest of relationships.

Or the father might have health challenges. He is 86.

Kamala will do interviews. This has been an expertly rolled out candidacy run by pros, obviously. David Plouffe, who ran Obama’s 2008 campaign, was tapped by the Harris people to help with this campaign. They know what they’re doing. The first task was to introduce Harris to the voters, and to quickly define her as a mainstream Democrat, not some wild eyed lefty. It’s why her acceptance speech had hawkish language on foreign policy (I’m a passivist dove, so that doesn’t normally sit well with my predisposition) and patriotic rhetoric. She is trying to define herself as acceptable to mainstream independents and persuadable traditional Republicans in swing states by getting out in front in defining herself, and not allowing Trump campaign to define her. It’s why the interviews have yet to happen. Her campaign people know that media types would try to get her in an awkward moment with gotcha questions, putting her on the defensive. If she made a gaffe early on, it would go viral and be used by Trump campaign to define her in a distorted way. Why allow that potential problem to crop up so early in a campaign? Hence no interviews. But interviews are coming, I’m sure. Watch for 60 Minutes season premier, a likely venue for her to take her first interview of campaign. Watch her on other network news shows. Obviously she will never agree to a Fox News interview so early, but she might eventually do town halls, including on Fox News. Trump will have to debate her, either on 9/10 or later. He has no choice. Mail-in ballots start going out second and third week of Sept. Once we get to Sept 25, you could arguably say the election is over. She can run the clock out if she wants. I don't expect her to do a single interview. This is also my concern that I fear that Trump is getting his ads going late - but that said - I do think people are fatigued of politics, so something to be said for going full blast the first two weeks of Sept.

Low information or disengaged voters don’t vote in September in swing states. By definition, such voters aren’t paying too much attention and are a pretty small minority of people who haven’t made up their minds. Such people aren’t clamoring to find the location of their nearest mail-in ballot drop box, and either wont vote at all or they will vote on or close to Election Day.
This election will be won or lost on the margins, in swing states, based on turnout efforts by both campaigns. Nothing is over in September.

I will say - October will be a valuable month for both sides to energize their vote (get the stragglers into the booth). When I look at the margins though, I think it's more about energizing one's own base, rather than making appeals to the undecided factions. Both sides have quite a few voters who are holding out and likely need convincing.

Sure. In that case, you're not going to find what I'm saying very interesting, and aren't likely to engage with it for what it is (but may try to treat it as something it is not.) Likewise, I'm intensely disinterested in hyping or cheerleading or advocacy surrounding this election (especially when it involves treating my analysis as cheerleading.) I can find advocacy in hundreds of places, from people whose overall values / worldviews / ethical systems I have clarity on, including those who align with me overall and those who align with me only on a few key topics. It's not really productive for me to engage when you don't want my analysis, but do want to turn it into something it's not. This seems to have turned into unnecessary hostility.

RFK has failed to remove his name from the ballots in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, and Michigan. It's too late in the process and he'll remain on the ballots.

Kamala will finally have her first interview - in the friendly confines of CNN, no less.
However - the interview will have Tim Walz in tow, babysitting her, because she's stupid.
