I liked Kelly but the point about not endangering a D Senate seat is a good one.

I liked Kelly but the point about not endangering a D Senate seat is a good one.

If Kelly is selected, and the Democrats win the Presidential election, Kelly’s seat is safely Democratic at least through 2026. Arizona state law requires his replacement to be a Democrat who would serve till a special election to fill the seat. That special election must take place in the next general election, which would be 2026.

I keep putting in a good word for FOGGY! Told them he could promise a Rooster in Every Pot™. But as soon as they hear Orly Taitz had her hands in his mouth, they go dark and ghost. Even telling them he shared charcuterie with his pal Amy Kremer in her luxurious suite in DC on Jan 6th doesn't bring them back.

I'm sorry good sir, but Kal-El is not a natural born citizen of the Us of A....

And even if he were Lex Luthor would provide Zee Orange Furher the kryptonite...

2008:

Who is Barack Obama? Contrary to the rumors that you've heard, I was not born in a manger. I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-el to save the planet earth.

Many of you -- many of you know that I got my name Barack from my father. What you may not know is Barack is actually Swahili for "that one." And I got my middle name from somebody who obviously didn't think I'd ever run for president.

Bonus:

I have never, not once, put lipstick on a pig. Or a pit bull, or myself. Rudy Giuliani, that's one for you. I mean, who would have thought that a cross-dressing mayor from New York City would have a tough time winning the Republican nomination? It's shocking.

Then at one of these campaign rallies someone in the crowd started yelling "Nobama," announcing to everyone in the room that I shouldn't be the Democratic nominee because there were far more qualified candidates. I really wish Joe Biden hadn't done that.

I miss Obama.

Just saw this, holy sh*t is Pete great. He eviscerates Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday. It's textbook perfect. Same points as with Jon Stewart which is especially fun on Fox News. He looks her in the eye and takes her down hard. "Let's be real". "Let's be very clear." He says Trump always lies and he doesn't trust him. Anybody wanting to be a public speaker or on TV should study these interviews.

I just learned Shapiro may have been involved in a “murder investigation” of a woman (Ellen Greenberg) stabbed over twenty times (two of the stabbings were post mortem). He was AG at the time. Her parents filed a wrongful death suit which is now at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

It was handed off to the AG when the Greenberg's attorney was elected DA and was conflicted out.

[bob]

Too also: An AG's name is on thousands and thousands of cases because an AG represents the state. (This also is true for Harris.)

I personally am unimpressed by "[this horrible thing] happened under the AG's watch" attacks, but I acknowledge they can resonate with others.

Harris VP mystery: Signs point to Shapiro

https://www.axios.com/2024/08/02/josh-s ... nning-mate

No one who really knows is talking. But White House, campaign and party sources tell Axios that all signs point to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, 51, being picked as running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris. Virtually all roads to 270 electoral votes run through Pennsylvania — one of the few things the Harris and Trump campaigns agree on.

It’s a combination of math and logic: Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral college votes are the biggest swing-state prize on the map, and its Democratic governor has a 61% approval rating. Shapiro’s VP stock hit record highs Thursday afternoon after CNN reported he was canceling a series of weekend fundraisers in the Hamptons.

Trump got to the Hamptons first. Today.

ftr, Axios, other news organs report that all of the vp candidates have been asked to clear their weekends so that face to face meetings with kh can be scheduked,

To follow-up with this Question:
The planned TV discussion that was to be between the VP Candidates, how will that play out now? Is (Shapiro, ... ) going to face off with JD Vance? Will Kamela Harris get an extra challenge as potus candidate against #45?

Debates are voluntary, with mutually agreed-upon terms.

The Republican party presently appears to see no upside in debating.

The Philly mayor presetting a tweet doesn't sound all that strange... but whoever hit send is having a rough night.

Philly Mayor’s Tweet Causes Confusion About Kamala Harris’ VP Pick
WHOOPS
The post asserting that Josh Shapiro was the VP pick was set to be published Monday, but someone pressed send too early, a report said.

Josh Fiallo Breaking News Reporter
Published Aug. 02, 2024 6:26PM EDT

An apparently accidental post on X by Philadelphia’s mayor led to mass confusion Friday as it insinuated Kamala Harris’ pick for vice president was Josh Shapiro. Mayor Cherelle Parker posted a clip in support of Harris and Shapiro for the presidential ticket on Friday, despite Harris not being expected to announce her VP pick until early next week.

Ernest Owens, editor of Philadelphia Magazine, reported Friday that “political sources” in the city told him that the post touting Shapiro as the VP choice was supposed to be scheduled for Monday and not Friday afternoon. “I’m hearing there’s a ‘firestorm’ right now,” he wrote on X. “I guess that’s an understatement.”

The clip, which is just over a minute along, largely focuses on Harris but has a segment where a Philadelphian praises Shapiro after Parker declares she “can’t think of a better partner than our governor.” At another point, a voice says, “Josh Shapiro for vice president.”

A “source close to Parker,” however, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the video was “not an announcement of anything,” and that it was merely “the mayor showing her support for a longtime friend who we know is one of the people being considered.
