I attended my first political rally as an attendee on Saturday in Atlanta (traditionally, I’ve ever only been at a political event because an assignment editor decided it needed to be covered). But the Harris rally was being held a few steps from where we live so we went. The info in today’s newsletter reflects what I saw there — this election will likely be decided by two things — women turning out and reproductive rights. Women of all ages and backgrounds were there in force. And they were there to work too — getting out the vote, talking issues, recruiting weekend door knockers and poll drivers for Tuesday. Another group that hasn’t really gotten a lot of attention? The many many members of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Harris’ sorority. HBCU women are mobilized for her.
One other thing stood out for me — the clockwork with which the event happened (It didn’t hurt the rally had hired Big Tigger to DJ and keep things moving). It was tightly choreographed. I’ve spent a lot of time over the years cooling my heels waiting for the money quotes to arrive. The rally had a stop of 2 pm. The last photo on my phone of Harris departing the stage was snapped at 2:02 pm.
The number of times Trump has rallies starting an hour, two hours late is astounding to me. Like…what’s he doing behind the scenes that is causing a lte start? If it happens once or twice in a campaign season, understandable. But a handful of times in the last few weeks??
Yes! I was thinking about the Trump rallies and all the late starts. The Harris campaign logistics were impressive, down to the timing of the snipers emerging on the roof of the Civic Center.

I’m guessing you just don’t understand the time it takes to completely replace his blood with that of a toddler.
What, you thought he spoke like a child with his own rotted black blood, coursing through is veins?
