I cannot recall the last time I felt such a palpable, tangible and visceral re-energizing of a political campaign.<\/p>\n

The current campaign for president of the United States falls into a unique category of an effort once thought to be DOA but is now a living, breathing organism.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Vice President Kamala Harris, for giving life to this effort.<\/p>\n

She had help, of course. It came mostly from President Biden, who ended his re-election effort after it became clear to him — reportedly — that he couldn’t defeat Donald J. Trump, the moron he defeated in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

I had hoped Biden would stay the course, but he chose otherwise … and I chose to back whatever decision he made.<\/p>\n

Up stepped VP Harris. She is now the Democrats’ nominee for POTUS. She is taking the fight directly to Trump. Her fundraising effort has been spectacular, raising $300 million in the first month.<\/p>\n

Harris and Trump now reportedly will debate in September. I am rubbing my mitts together in anticipation of that event. I look forward to seeing how Harris might respond to Trump’s “stalking” of her on a debate stage, a la<\/em> what he did against Hillary Clinton in 2016.<\/p>\n

I am acutely aware that Harris still has to catch Trump, who still, inexplicably, continues to cling to a narrow lead. Oh, how I hope she does.<\/p>\n

I quit watching polls during election campaigns, as they tend to reflect the nation’s mood of the moment. The mood during this campaign, is of a highly energized electorate.<\/p>\n

It’s contagious, too!<\/p>\n\n
