I’ve always assumed that at least 80 percent of the voters were locked into their choices. Maybe even 88 percent with a pretty even split. That leaves a small group of potential voters trying to choose between Trump and Biden and not really happy with either. Biden is old and not getting any younger. He Read More

There is really nothing else to say as my initial reaction to the Supreme Court’s Presidential Immunity ruling. I am just starting to read through it now and will update this periodically as I do. 23-939_e2pg.pdf – Google Drive

Often, re-election campaigns are referendums on the incumbent. Historically, incumbent Presidents who had an approval rating below 45 percent in June of their re-election year ended up losing and those with a rating above 46 percent won. President Biden’s approval rating sits at 40.4 percent according to the latest RCP average. If the election was Read More

I hope to try to post something at least once a week from now until the election. Please check back and let me know what you think.

There is a map and a list that people should review before considering the upcoming presidential election. First for the list. Here is a list of the ten closest states in the 2020 election.

It is possible that if Georgia used Ranked Choice Voting most of the Libertarian’s votes would have gone to Walker (no one really knows for sure) and he might have Read More

Maybe its because I grew up a fan of the expansion New York Mets baseball team and watched them acquire a series of past their prime former stars.   Starting with Duke Snyder who joined the Mets in 1963 at age 37, Warren Spahn who joined them in 1965 at age 44, Yogi Berra who joined Read More

Well the mid-terms are over, sort of. Still a runoff in Georgia and some counting and recounting to come in Nevada, Arizona and California. All that we know for sure is that there was no wave. The Democrats very narrowly lost Senate races in Wisconsin, and North Carolina that could have given them enough seats Read More

Remarkably, it is still anybody’s guess what will happen in the upcoming mid-terms. Most experts seem to think the House will flip to the Republicans and the Senate is now a toss-up. The reality is that the result is likely to be decided by a relatively small number of votes amidst a very large turnout. Read More
