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.

LurkerMom: Axelrod took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to question whether Biden should drop out of the 2024 race...

Maybe someone should remind Axelrod the news articles written one-year or more out from his former boss's reelection bid:

The New York Times Magazine: "On Aug. 12, a week and a half after the debate ended in Congress, Obama's stock on Intrade, a popular political betting market, dipped below 50 percent for the first time. It has hovered just below the 50 percent threshold, usually at about 48 percent, ever since."

Harvard Gazette: "Harvard poll predicts Obama loss"

PBS: "Poll Finds Young People Skeptical of Obama's Re-election"

PR Newswire: "More Millennials Predict Obama will Lose Bid for Re-election"

PEW Research: "Obama Loses Ground in 2012 Reelection Bid"

Politico: "Poll: Most see Obama losing in 2012"

So how'd those predictions turn out?
