Concur; a strong candidate for this election. I don't know if he's the strongest choice for some other election, but we're not talking about some other, hypothetical election.
Concur and dissent.Foggy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 10:53 am I agree with you, RVInit, but here's the deal - now the pressure is on for Harris to show she's in the same league as Obama. Not Biden, that's not a good comparison. She has to capture the magic of Obama in 2008, a thing that will make or break her. I think it will make her IF she ignores it.
There's going to be so much pressure to be charismatic. But here's the thing - If Harris was charismatic, we'd know by now.
I think you call it when you suggest this choice was about Obama vibes, literally, "HOPE." Plouffe's being added to the campaign is no accident.
I understand what you are saying about the pressure (especially for a woman) to be charismatic. Yet, in this regard, her immediate competition isn't Obama, but rather the dour old dud who's just mean and negative.
I think the selection of Walz nicely rounds out the "who'd you rather have a beer with?" vibes. Harris and Walz project energetic and optimistic, which sells better than dark and weird.
I wish this election was going to be based on something more substantive (because it'll be enormously consequential), but a good card for the hand dealt.

I'm just sayin', she won't be judged like a male candy date would be. And the media will turn on her in a heartbeat. I will not be shocked, in a couple weeks, to see stories saying soccer moms don't like her.

For sure; "electability" is inevitable.
I already see the NYT pitchbot post:
"Female suburban voters aren't warning up to Harris. To find out why, we asked three soccer moms from a fundamentalist Mormon outpost who are plural married to the same man."

When you ALWAYS say "candy date" I'm not sure anymore if your posts are in snark mode or trying to be serious. Just sayin'.

I have real trouble trying to figure that out myself sometimes. On the bright side ... why not both?

Tim Walz is very impressive. His selection has brought the Democratic Party together, and he celebrates the same sense of joy in running as Kamala Harris.
I officially predict that the two of them will be elected in November and that the Trump campaign will completely collapse by September 17, 2024.

And if you don’t know, I’ll spell it out. Walz rose to the enlisted grade of Command Sergeant Major. That’s E-9. The only enlisted grade higher than that is Sergeant Major of the Army (E-10), and there’s only ever one E-10 at a time in each branch service (I honestly don’t know, and can’t be bothered to find out, whether the Space Force has an E-10).
