Former Ohio governor John Kasich. Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker. Utah senator Mitt Romney. Even former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. The list of Republican figures who could be picked to serve on Joe Biden’s cabinet, as reported by POLITICO, is extensive and intriguing. It would mark the return to a political convention abandoned by the administration of Donald Trump but previously standard practice. But more than that, it opens up a can of worms that could damage Biden’s relationship with the far-left of the Democratic party and only charm the small number of persuadable voters in this election. Why, then, would Biden pick a Republican cabinet member?  Allan Giberti
We have been at this for about nine months now and it occurred to me that this isn’t very different from the HIV/AIDS epidemic. I’m not talking about the viruses themselves but rather how we, as people, should have been able to handle it. I was discussing some of the more recent ridiculous decrees that has been sent down from on high by our own Governor Gina Raimondo to us, the little people; when someone chimed in, “Unless you’ve lost someone to COVID…” Unless I’ve lost someone to COVID… Well I have, just like so many other people have. That’s when it occurred me, I’ve done this before in what seems like a lifetime ago.

It was the talk of the town going into this game. Nearly 3 years after he was traded away to the San Francisco 49ers, former Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo was making his return to Foxborough to play against the team that drafted him back in 2014. Looking to bounce back after a horrendous 18-12 loss to the Broncos the previous week, the Patriots were eager to ruin the ‘homecoming’ and, at the same time, try to avoid going 2-4 for the first time since 2000. From start to finish, it was an absolute ass-whooping of which Pats nation had not seen before. But instead of getting a much deserved chuckle and laugh at Jimmy G’s expense, it was quite the opposite.  Allan Giberti
A little more than two weeks from now, Americans will head to the polls and cast their vote for who they want to be the next President of the United States. So, with Election Day right around the corner and when you consider everything that has happened in just 2020 alone, why are we still hearing about the “undecided voters”?  Mark Colley
The 2020 campaign is the worst-case scenario for President Donald Trump and his campaign. An unprecedented pandemic, a global recession and a fairly evasive opponent. Could anything go worse? In the last three weeks, it has. Trump’s performance on the debate stage in Cleveland was largely panned, giving Biden a bump in a race that has been largely stagnant since Bernie Sanders withdrew from the Democratic primary in April. Polling also showed a dip for Trump after his positive COVID-19 test. The polls have been dismal for the president. According to FiveThirtyEight’s national polling average, Biden leads Trump by 10.4 percent. And the average, which is typically slow in responding to polls dramatically above or below what it thinks is the mean, has seen a number of Biden +14 polls in recent days. (It has also seen many Biden +6 and +7 polls.) But the polls were wrong in 2016. Pollsters tended to oversample college-educated voters, while Trump’s largest support group — white, non-college-educated voters — were under sampled. |
