Tim, good criteria for who to have on - actual political experience - to make the keep-Biden case. This is why I'm a subscriber. Is it going to be Simon Rosenberg?
I agree with Bill that the focus groups' views on Harris is most likely based on fragmentary evidence. See Ezra Klein on "Is Harris Underrated? (youtube.com/watch?v=Kyv…). A go…

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyvaxlKuOuE&list=PLdMrbgYfVl-szepgVpArP0obwYgbKdfvx&index=1). A good argument here that who she's been publicly is not who she is, the law and order Dem.
I'm listening to that podcast now, and I'm already feeling less negative about the prospect of a Kamala candidacy.
Great! I was persauaded too. And even more pissed at Biden than I've been for the lying and denial.
Even before I listened to it, I was beginning the hypothesize that Biden was treating Harris like a potential rival, rather than a potential protege. That's not a good position for a VP to be in!
I suppose that's often what happens, but with Biden being nearly 80, that's just hubris and narcissism.
Yeah, still not convinced, call it a vibe, but something about her when she talks especially sends red flags to my brain...lol
Including the clip from New Orleans they played?
Didn't watch the clip, I couldn't at the moment
Maybe I will go back at some point
Yeah ,what about the more left leaning libs who don't like her for that reason? I thought we needed them too.
If the left-leaners voted for Biden, why wouldn't they vote for Kamala?
Well, they never thought seh was progressive, but, I really don't know all their reasons now...I just read in a WA Po piece I think , that they are for Joe because while he didn't do everything they wanted, he did more than any other Dem president in their lifetime
Yes, if they want to beat Trump, they have to support the more moderate candidate.
