Regarding the Selzer Poll… either she’s right and everyone else is wrong or she’s wrong. Mark Halperin is having a good conversation with her about her methodology.

My gut says that her poll is incorrect. There is just too much of a disparity between Biden in ‘20 and Harris now. There’s nothing to account for that movement… but like I said, we’ll see on Tuesday.

One other state to watch… New Jersey. Not saying anything, but keep an eye on it as results come. It could be surprising.

Anyhow, it wasn’t the process of voting that made a citizen—the Lieutenant had been a citizen in the truest sense of the word, even though he had not lived long enough ever to cast a ballot. He had “voted” every time he made a drop.

And so had I!

I could hear Colonel Dubois in my mind: “Citizenship is an attitude, a state of mind, an emotional conviction that the whole is greater than the part…and that the part should be humbly proud to sacrifice itself that the whole may live.”
