Well, team, the Democratic Convention is almost here. How interesting that the talking heads seem to be walking back their previous dire forecasts that Chicago 2024 would be more like Chicago 1968. Humph! We were in Chicago in 1968, and those pundits — who probably weren't even born yet — have no idea what they're talking about. (Handy reminder that Democrats also convened in Chicago in 1996.)
Here are a few convention-eve observations as we stock up on Doritos and get ready for our watch parties:
Vice President Harris and Governor Walz toured western Pennsylvania today using these nifty wheels (above). Tweeps were oohing and aahing. Gosh! This campaign is so exciting, we're even gushing over the buses!
Puzzled about possessives? A lot of journalists we follow appear to be struggling with apostrophes and s's when it comes to our 2024 nominees. It's easy-peasy, folks: apostrophe-s in both cases. "Harris's surging poll numbers." "Walz's likability." You don't even have to think about it.
Rumor has it that Benedict Donald will speak from behind bulletproof glass at future outdoor rallies. Guess that means we have a gun problem in America. Will any reporter ask him about that?
Finally. after a successful golf cart parade a few weeks ago, The Villages in Florida turned out big today for a Harris-Walz grass-roots organizing event. This, maybe more than anything, should be a sign to Team Trump that they're in big trouble. We're not saying Florida's going blue (although with abortion and weed on the ballot, there could be a chance), but elections are won and lost on the margins. We cats like our odds these days, and we PURR.
