Counting the Days

In less than a month we will have the results of the midterm elections. Election Day is four weeks from yesterday. Polls are looking somewhat more positive for the GOP. 

Most voters don't imagine an abortion in their medium term future. Every voter buys and consumes groceries and danged near everyone buys gasoline or diesel. Interest on home loans is up, which results in owners' equities going down as home prices go down. Stock portfolios are down. These are not the best of times.

Don't be surprised if the consensus conclusion concerning this election is a mantra made famous by Democrat James Carville. Namely, "It's the economy, stupid."

The DrsC have sent in their absentee ballots, the other DrC says she fears the election count will not be an honest one. Since there are fewer pandemic-related excuses for last-minute rule changes, I'll reserve judgment.
