round the horn
The YouTube algorithm is understandably spitting out Drazen for governor ads. What is a little less understandable is the ad they give me has the phrase “Make Oregon (something or other) Again”, which does not compute for a Republican who has murmured into the back channels of media consumption that if not for Trump she would carry the race — unless maybe you get this ad to people with a good backlog of Daily Caller views. I guess the campaign recalibrated, as their micro-target ads to me have switched to Drazen saying the “if you don’t think things are working–“, no alluding to anything “maga” — though, strictly speaking I would like a reference to a policy prescription or two, but I guess they know that way lies danger.
Dark intonations for Michigan, where Haley Stevens has been staging a protracted and long carefully planned for the last minute sabotage attempt of the Democratic al-Sayed — inch in, inch in further, inch in even further and take the plunge for the last minute “Vote for Rogers!” I can’t figure out if this leads to any votes — it exhausts media coverage and takes over narrative and is otherwise personal butt hurt matters, policy wise of any great concern by a couple percent in the vote. But personal drama ends up the bane for political coverage — well, Ross Perot spent the end of the 1994 campaign stumping for Ann Richards against George W. Bush and I guess we await to see if Stevens has voters lined up for her. It does not me that Stevens is hung up on internet jackasses Cenk and and Hassan Piker and is I guess unaware of horse-shoe al Sayed backers Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes — who have less to do with al-Sayed than Piker but just as much or little as Cenk.
The Final weekend of the campaign brings Trump out and in and out or in to Iowa and Kansas. I guess he sent a voice call to the rallies. As well Mississippi and, the latest barely possible but don’t hold your breath Democratic pick-up possibility with Republicans staring nervously at the numbers — Louisiana. I don’t know if any Democratic bigwig has made it to Louisiana, but Bill Clinton and James Carville and a one time Louisiana governor are in Mississippi. Good times for them if nothing else.
