The first big poll of Dem primary candidates was completed this weekend by Politico/Morning Consult.  In short, everyone pretty much stayed the same in ranking as before,  with Biden staying in front at 33%, down 5%.  Bernie and Warren pretty much stay where they were, but the big bump was for Harris who jumped up to 12%, tied with Warren.  Beto is down and out at 2%, and Mayor Pete lost one point at 6%.

I’m looking for Harris to continue to pound on Biden’s record from 40 years ago, trying to erode his wide lead, with others piling.  In my view, the circular firing squad will continue

Down here at the Salon we’re popping popcorn and making lemonade.  We’ll have plenty for Michael Cohen’s  I Fall on Trump’s Sword show watch party today.  We’ll even rent you a lawn chair for a very small sum.  In the meantime, we’ve noted that North Carolina election fraudster, Republican Mark Harris, has withdrawn from the revote after his very own son confirmed that he had warned his dad not to hire “Mr. Dowless”, a shady convicted felon who acted as an operative stealing absentee ballots from elderly and infirm voters.  Harris won the election by 905 votes, but only by winning a heavily Democratic county; the skewed vote attracted the attention of voter officials prompting the now well-known investigation.

Withdrawing from the race, Harris has cited “health” issues.  Clearly, it’s unhealthy to commit blatant election fraud.  I’m now wondering if the NC attorney general is going to show up next.  Not likely, is my guess.
