It's hers to win or lose, and votes could swing much more than usual in an election campaign. Polls found that over half the voters wanted neither Trump nor Biden. So that's a pool waiting to be tapped. But I hope she runs a better campaign than she did in 2020.

A bit of background, thanks to Deborah Caine of Richmond: Michelle Obama visited the Berkshires as first lady, as did Laura Bush. Harris's visit would have been a first for a VP, but now she's really upped her presence. The reason we don't get much attention from major candidates is that we are so reliably Democratic here. They instead go to Wisconsin and Ohio. https://www.iberkshires.com/story/41731/First-Lady-James-Taylor-Headline-Campaign-Fundraiser.html?source=most_read

In Dubuque, iowa, they were always thicker than flies in a hog pen. My granddaughter still has her Obama autograph from August, 2007 (No, not 2008).
