Biden & Accuser, Ballots, It’s Close, 1918, Very Fine People, Pence Pants, Masks

Very Fine people confront legislators in Michigan
  • Tommy Christopher suggests that a campaign season is a tough time to test the proposition that an accused sexual predator may be entirely innocent and that a politically motivated accuser may be making things up. “If Biden’s accuser is lying,” says Tommy, “then maybe people need to hear a liar be called a liar.”
     
    I dunno. Maybe the thing is to deny the accusation if not true, avoid name-calling, show gentle respect, encourage investigation, let the facts speak. Otherwise, keep silent.
     
    You know… be the non-Trump, be the non-Kavanaugh.
    Be the contrast.
     
  • In Letters from an American, Heather Cox Richardson takes us through the desperate measures Republican strategists are considering. Candidates should stop defending their president and just get local. Trump’s campaign should proclaim that he is the very best of the very worst – because he is horrible, but Democrats are double horrible plus one.
     
    Heather reviews all that and why none of those fine plans will work.
     
  • Jon Perr at PERRspectives slams Donald Trump, then slams him again and again, without saying anything. At least not saying his own words. He simply quotes a President from before I was born. And quotes him again and again.
     
  • Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger has the latest poll results. The November election is close very close. Biden edges Trump, that’s the good news. But it’s by only one point.
     
    Hold on! That’s not nationwide. It’s a state poll in wait… where?
