- This is basically the opening scene of the movie Contagion. No spoilers.Las Vegas is officially back.
00:00 - Michelle Obama is delivering the most powerful takedown of Donald Trump we have heard at this convention yet.
- If Ohio ends up going for Biden --if – it’s a surprise and arguably a bigger deal for Biden than Florida. Not only is it a lot of Electoral College votes from a Reddish state, it strongly signals Biden is in good shape to win Pennsylvania.
- Trump turnaround on NY area embargo was 100 percent unsurprising; very much in keeping with a lot of this presidency.
- Feels too early to wonder if O'Rourke is running or not, but Democrats should probably make sure whoever made this ad is signed up for 2020.
- Big question: Why is California doing stay-at-home order and NYC, denser and with more confirmed tests so far, ;holding back? Did Newsom move too fast or is Cuomo moving too slow? A question we might be talking about for a long time.
- Was this Bloomberg-Clinton ticket rumor floated out there to distract from Wash Post story on Bloomberg and women employees? Or just one of those campaign coincidences?
- Uh-oh. Looks like Donald Trump may have lost the Red Sweater vote: Kenneth Bone says he's leaning toward Clinton. nyti.ms/2dS1KdM
- “Where we going Bake?” “We are going to heaven. “ George Bush’s final hours, from @peterbakernyt nytimes.com/2018/12/01/us/…

- Trump convention planners are doing something wrong. This is a primetime shot of the hall. Empty.
