This Kamala thing is a real conundrum for the dems. If Joe runs, they don't want her to drag down the ticket. If he does not run, they want to knock her off. Never pretty when you are a dem and trying to knock off "the historic, first, black, female idiot" from being on the ticket. Let's see how this plays out with Jim Clyburn up front in South Carolina, now the first primary in the country. She is a drag on the ticket. Not sure how they solve that. Maybe they don't.

somewhere someone in Donald’s circle has shared this with him and I bet he’s giddy. He only cares if people talk or think about him. It is one of his personal KPI’s.
Marty Walsh leaving to take a great job with the NHL Players Association. The envy of every Bostonian working class guy. He is recovering alcoholic with parents from Ireland, and is from Dorchester. Doesn't get any more Boston Irish than that. What a crazy position he has been in during the last year. Jay Powell and the Beltway economists have all decided that more jobs is a bad thing because it undermines their inflation "strategy" such as it is - or is not. So month after month strong jobs reports come out. And Marty bites his tongue while thinking "Well, yeh, that's a good thing isn't it?" That's kind of what a Labor Secretary prays for isn't it?" And then they all throw rocks at him as though he is no longer supporting Biden with that kind of thinking. Of course Biden does not help either by taking credit for controlling inflation when the jobs report is down and then taking credit for a great economy when it is up. Screw that. You the man Marty. Get out of that beltway snakepit. You got a great new job. Just don't squeal your tires in the parking lot when leaving town in DC. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/politics/marty-walsh-leaving/index.html
