I Can Live With ‘Josh Shapiro’ (Over Kelly) As VP, BUT Very Unsure/Shaky About ‘Walz’.

Yes, indubitably, ‘Mark Kelly’ is my favorite. But, I understand the dynamics.

I DO count electoral votes. PA has 9 more than AZ! Not that much, but 2024 is going to be tight. Come November 9 electoral votes could make a huge difference.

Plus, I appreciate the midterm election risk in 2026 IF ‘Mark Kelly‘ is VP rather than a senator. This midterm consideration is a bummer. Irks me (no end) BUT I get it. We can’t afford to lose even ONE Senate seat. Wow.

I have also watched Shapiro on TV over the last few days. He is good. Impressive.

Not sure about Walz.

Yes, I will confess I know NOTHING about him. I was SHOCKED, today, to learn that he is only 60-years old! WOW. He looks OLD. I thought he was in his 70s. Not good. He also looks unkempt. His military record is an asset. But?

YIKES!

You, luckily, don’t see it, BUT it had become a daily struggle to maintain this blog.

Yes, I rely on a LOT of images. WordPress and HostGator don’t like that. So, I get punished. It takes multiple attempts to get a post POSTED with all the images! Yesterday was the last straw.

I don’t make any money from this blog. So, whether I have it or not has no financial implications. That makes it much easier.

I am old. It takes me longer and more effort to do anything. Spending an additional 15-minutes a post is precious time I can better use on other work. Hence the decision.

I will still continue to do my ‘Anura’s Picture of the Day + 6 Others’ DAILY. Already did today’s. PLEASE, PLEASE follow me on FaceBook.

I Will Accept ‘Josh Shapiro’ (Over Kelly) As VP, IF He Gets Us The 19 Electoral Votes Of Pennsylvania.

I am a pragmatist & I count electoral votes. PA has 9 more than AZ! Not that much, but 2024 is going to be tight. Come November 9 electoral votes could make a hueg difference.

I dearly want Kelly as the VP.

But, I understand ….

The only thing that matters is getting ‘Harris‘ elected — though she is, NOT by a long chalk, who I would have preferred! Again, I am being pragmatic.

Mr. Harris is jewish. So, Josh also being jewish isn’t going to make that much of a difference. Kamala will have to stand on her own on this.

So, here, I have said it. I will support a Harris-Shapiro ticket.

SMILE. It sucks being a pragmatist.

MY PICK.

Yes, it still hasn’t been a week. I appreciate that.

I went out today to get the lay of the land. NOTHING as yet. Lots of ‘Trump’ & Republican signs. Not a one for democrats. Hhmmm. Early days.

Nothing like 2008 or 2012. But, ‘Obama‘ got started, way back, for the Primary (which he LOST!)

The other big difference is SECURITY! Wow. Wow. Wow.

Yes, 2008 & 2012 was after 9/11, but there was no security, whatsoever, at the campaign headquarters. Doors, other than when it was cold, were always flung open. People coming and going. Not so now. Strict security protocols. I understand. SHAME.
