Maybe! I merely point out that they playbook looks a lot like 2016 ("For every blue collar worker we lose in Pittsburgh we'll gain two professionals in the Philadelphia suburbs") which famously worked out for everyone.

Maybe closer to an answer here: Between this and the feting of various Republican endorsers, the Harris campaign is looking more and more like Clinton 2016.

Terms here:

Tentative deal subject to ratification by the rank and file. They've agreed to extend the current contract through January while the details are worked out/membership polled, which means it shouldn't be a further factor in the election...

Cheney is already onboard, and W would be a major get, but if she really wants to move the needle her people need to see if they can get George Wallace or Mussolini.

Hoo boy.

I mean BYU was in the Big 12 last year and ended the year with 23 wins, a 5-seed in the tournament, and a pretty good recruiting class this year (third best in the Big 12 per 247). Major turnover with Pope leaving, but it's not like he'd be suiting up for Longwood or whatever. BYU's pretty good.

"Obama's rule" not in the sense of "Obama's unquestioned domain over foreign policy" but "Obama's guiding principle" or "Obama's one weird trick for avoiding drawing the US into an international boondoggle."

In McGurk's case, at least, this seems to be what he's after. Amazing he keeps finding work.

Wild the degree to which the Biden Administration abandoned Obama's #1 rule of foreign policy in the service of abetting and, if this Politico report is to be believed, outright encouraging the series of escalations that have led us to this point. And now Harris is the one caught holding the bag...

While I suspect attacking a union would appeal to the embarrassed Republicans of Raytheon Acres, Virginia, the Dems have seemingly made their highest priority, I'm not sure how it plays with other parts of the electorate Harris is trying to win.

Whoops! Incidentally:

This is presumably a reference, filtered through Trump's unique and powerful brain, to CBP One, a cellphone app introduced under the Biden administration which asylum seekers are required to use to make their asylum applications. CBP One is, unsurprisingly and likely by design, a boondoggle...

Never in doubt.

I was going through ESPN's way-too-early top 25 which projects starting lineups, and other than Kentucky, Bama was the only school I noticed as starting a couple really big guys (Nelson and Clifford Omoruyi). Sounds like I didn't miss anyone. With our without Pat, I do not expect Duke to be on...

UK's official roster and ESPN (which I assume gets their info from the school) list him at 7 feet, but I see Drexel had him at 6'10" last year. Not sure how he grew so fast, must be the mountain air. I agree he's not the second coming of Zach Edey or whatever, I just bring him up (along with...

Yep, it's a two way problem. Let's see Amari Williams chasing Cooper around the perimeter and see how well that works for them. If Big Pat is out for the year it sucks for his development and gives Duke a little less situational flexibility against really big teams, but I don't think it changes...

Poking around a bit, one obvious candidate for this scenario is the Kentucky game. The Wildcat's projected starting lineup includes Amari Williams (7'0", 262) and Andrew Carr (6'11", 235), both 5th year players. Say Khaman is unavailable because of foul trouble or whatever other reason. Duke...

I'll defend the point I didn't make and say that I do not think it's silly to point to the Nordics as examples of what is possible in the United States. Norway specifically has some unique fiscal features that help it along (not least of all being that it is the world's warm and fuzziest...

Size is both a strength this year, with no scholarship player shorter than 6'5" (that runt Caleb Foster), and on the top end a weakness, with only two possible rotation players over 6'10" (Maluach and Big Pat, no offense to Borden). As others have pointed out, Duke has a plethora of 6'9" ish...
