I’ve been bullish on Jolly for months. I don’t know how to assess the Senate race, but as I’ve said numerous times, in 2024 Trump’s margin was narrower than AK, IA, & TX

Just some of what I picked today. Unfortunately cucumbers are done for the year. But I might still get some trombocino squash, the chard is going well, tomatoes & beans are going well, & the pepper plants are loaded.

So far the 10 day forecast has only 2 days below 60, only 1 below 40 (39). I’ll be really pissed if we have one day of frost amidst a bunch of days in the 60’s. My garden is still producing summer vegetables.

Note that the polling errors in named ballots (as opposed to generic), where they are notable, consistently favor waves against the party in the White House. In 1994 (Clinton I), 2014 (Obama II), and 2022 (Biden) they under-estimated Rs, and in 2006 (Bush II) they under-estimated Ds.

There is a lot of series left. The Dodgers are the Dodgers. But here's the thing about the Brewers: they don't win of lose a lot in a row. Wherever they are, they bounce back. With a head start they will be difficult to beat.

I think what makes this wrecker bullshit so great is not the claim Brown wouldn’t vote convict Trump, which he’s already done twice. What makes it great is “known quantity for a decade.” Which of Sherrod Brown’s 5 decades in office are we talking about?
