It is a late morning here in my office perched between the two stadiums in Seattle. It’s been a weird morning here in the hotel and I hit the bricks running when I arrived here at 0400. It is now 1115 hrs and this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down and dash something off for you to ponder.
You are pondering what I write, aren’t you? Really?
Okay, so the news of the day is that Kamala Harris has presumably picked a person with little or no baggage to run as her understudy to the POTUS. The man in waiting.
So who is Tim Walz, you ask?
Don’t feel bad, if you don’t know, then you are part of the 71% of the American population who has never heard of him.
Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota. He is also a former National Guardsman, a teacher and he previously served 12 years in Congress, representing a conservative-leaning rural district that, both before and after his tenure, has been mostly dominated by Republicans.
“He talks and looks like a lot of the voters we’ve lost to Trump,” said a longtime Democratic operative who was supportive of Walz from the day President Joe Biden stepped aside.
He apparently knows how to tie his own shoes and not to wander out onto a freeway.
He is also pretty adept at mocking both Trump and Vance and the MAGA movement in general.
At any rate, this is the guy that won the Democratic Veep Sweeps this time around.
