We note we turn 51 today, thanks everyone.
We see this blog had a '50 week' last year. Ah, that series of posts is coming back to us. We have no deep insights this year.

Also, in September of 2004 W was ahead by 10 points in some polls. In September of 2008, McCain was up 3 in the RCP poll of polls. Kerry came roaring back to make a close race and Barry Soetoro won handily. In 2016, polls showed Hillary well ahead. We never believed those polls and we were right. In 2020 the RCP poll of polls had Biden up by 7-8 points. The Dems still needed five days to manufacture enough votes to give Joe the win. A lot can and will
Well, we're off to the beach. Blogging will continue as normal.
