2. One of the reasons I love this discussion board is that there's always someone willing to grab the rope and pull it back

That's like Democratic party tradition, you know. Harris could be 50 points ahead in the polls, and someone would be looking at the NYT/Siena poll, wringing their hands and sobbing over a lost election.

At this point, this former high school government and history teacher, who has some experience looking at and picking winners in elections, thinks this one looks pretty good for Harris. Everything in this post is accurate, and the trends in polling are quite favorable to Harris, moving in the right direction, 43 days before the election. The enthusiasm level, the numbers of new voters rolling in, most of whom fall into demographic groups favoring Democrats, and the big one, the number of volunteers on the ground in swing states.

Here's another bit of good news. I go to Wisconsin once a month between now and the election to help canvass and make calls to get voters out. The enthusiasm is high there, the response excellent, and it's to the issues and the message of Harris' campaign.
