Yesterday I was listening to the Clay and Buck show while recovering from a bit of the flu, and despite of not feeling well I got a much-needed chuckle when, during the local newsbreak, the reporter said that Kamala Harris would be having a rally "at an undisclosed location in Saginaw." I assumed that only the charter bus drivers who would be hauling in all of Harris' "grassroots supporters" would be giving the location of that particular rally. The "hide our candidates" game the Harris-Walz campaign is playing continues.
Harris will be spending a lot of time in my state as well as other battleground areas, but her campaign is calling in reinforcements because things continue to not look good for the Democrats:
Fresh surveys from seven battleground states show a scenario in which Donald Trump could win in November with a decisive 296 electoral votes.
Trafalgar, which polled between Aug. 28 and 30, sees Trump sweeping 44 electoral votes from the pivotal Blue Wall states in November, eking out narrow wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin inside the polls’ margins of error.
Insider Advantage handled polling in four other battlegrounds between Aug. 29 and 31, with Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina going to Trump.
Now there's an "all hands on deck" emergency for the Democrats.
This week Harris campaigned with Liz Cheney, who bragged about how much her father, who these same Democrats once called "worse than Hitler" and a war criminal who should be in prison, supports Kamala's candidacy.
Team Harris has now called in Barack Obama, and I won't be surprised if an upcoming Harris rally features the former president's Greek columns as a backdrop:

Maybe Obama can tell the audiences at these rallies how he led a coup to shove President Biden out the door! In any case, this reeks of Harris campaign desperation:
Former President Barack Obama is hitting the stump for Vice President Kamala Harris in swing states starting next week, according to a senior campaign official.
The first stop in Obama’s blitz through battleground country will be Pittsburgh, Pa., on Oct. 10.
The Keystone State has 19 crucial Electoral College votes up for grabs in November, and the latest polls show Harris is in a dead heat with former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
Obama will be fighting hard to get Harris elected because his fourth term is at stake.
However, this Obama news makes me more optimistic. Remember another time when Democrat internal polling was so bad for their presidential candidate that they called in Barack Obama for several campaign events? It was in 2016:

With any luck the outcome this year will be the same for the Democrats.
