The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It doesn't matter for today's game

The big difference is that every baseball game starts anew. Politics doesn’t, there is this thing call “image momentum”. Basically it’s why people are still buying Cadillacs even though they’ve sucked for a decade. With Joe it’s going the other way, it was already low by any standard, and he sank it last night. You know that old saying “You only get one chance to make a first impression”? Joe was already on the downhill and made it worse. It’s a hole so deep he’ll never climb out. There isn’t time or money enough (and the money is going to stop flowing, just watch.)

Here are some clips of Biden today

Great. Let’s get 9 television networks to broadcast them in roadblock fashion after a month of build-up for a big competition, and see if we can get 20 million people to watch instead of a few hundred in a hall somewhere. Terrific. Where was it lat night at 9PM?

PS: TheNew York Times preselected 6 “undecided” voters before the debate. All six are now in or heading to Trump’s column. Scary? I should say so.
