(1) In Montana, a court ruling that may help sink Tester’s re-election chances.
(2) NPR tries to claim that Rich Lowry used the n-word in an interview. Of course he did not, and they know it. Doesn’t mean they won’t claim it.
(3) As far as I know, there’s been no further word on the ABC whistleblower allegations. I wrote yesterday that the network hasn’t issued a very impressive rebuttal so far. Stay tuned.
(4) Teamster members heavily favor Trump, but the union has so far refused to endorse either candidate. I’m not so sure how much official endorsements matter anymore.
(5) For what it’s worth, a new Gallup poll indicates that Trump is a tiny bit more popular than Harris, 46% to 44%. His popularity has risen five points since last month. Interesting.
I am reminded of a story IIRC that LBJ used to tell. There was a county sheriff who, during an election campaign, said “My opponent (does unmentionable things to) hogs.”
Someone said to the sheriff, “You KNOW he doesn’t do that.”
“I know he doesn’t, but I love to hear him deny it.”
Oh, Canada!

The fact that the Teamsters president will not make an endorsement in this election sounds to me like he’s giving the rank and file permission to vote for Trump. I sure hope that’s how they read it!
