Today is Monday, November 4, 2024. We are on the eve of Election Day and as Vice President Kamala Harris has frequently said, “We’re not going back!” She is now speaking in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, a top battleground state. To gauge the mood within the Dump campaign, a staff writer for The Atlantic, Tim Alberta, just spoke to CNN’s Erin Burnett and has stated that there is “a real fear that the bottom has started to fall out” within the Dump campaign. Burnett asked Alberta if he thought Dump believed he was going to win, and he said, wryly, that he thinks that Dump could think in his own mind that he’s winning the race, but, as he qualified, Dump’s sense of what’s true does not square with reality at all. He even said that some of Dump’s campaign workers will not feel any pain if he loses because he conducted a scattershot, impulsive, and undisciplined campaign all throughout. It certainly lacked the energy of Harris’s campaign which sallied forth with a burst of momentum ever since President Joe Biden declared he was out of the race on July 21. As you recall, during one of the Orange Turd’s rallies, Dump declared everything to be over after two rallygoers fainted and he ran out of steam; for 30 to 40 minutes, he stood up on stage doing nothing, just standing there with a goofy look on his face.

Of course, there are so many other races occurring tomorrow as well, and one I’m particularly invested in is the race in Texas where Congressman Colin Allred is facing repugnant Republican Senator Ted “Ooze” in an intrepid attempt to unseat the bastard. Let’s see this former professional football player smack Ooze back to Cancun where he belongs. If Ooze loses his seat for the first time in 12 years, it’s a great sign for Democrats and for the nation. I truly believe Allred has the momentum this time to unseat the unpopular Ooze who is just another Dump sycophant and MAGA acolyte. Texas needs a fresh face and an advocate of women’s reproductive rights, which Ooze definitely is not.

So tomorrow Elliot and I will vote in this election the old-fashioned way by walking into our polling place after breakfast to cast our lot with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Most of our friends have either voted early or voted by mail-in ballot. We have no other plans for tomorrow other than later in the day when I will travel to the Village and partake in my gay men’s reading club. I’m sort of surprised as to why the organizer didn’t cancel tomorrow’s meeting, but he didn’t. I would think some of the members would need time after 5 to vote. So it might be a less-than-full meeting this time because of it being Election Day. But we’ll see. I’ve read the book, The Lookback Window, not once but twice. I did this because I finished the book before our trip to Italy on October 16. When we returned on October 29, I picked up the book once more and began rereading it. It’s not a long book: about 272 pages and it’s immensely readable. I’m curious to hear what the guys have to say about this book.

On the eve of the most consequential election in our lifetime, let us focus on banishing America’s long-running nightmare, Donald J. Drumpf, to Mar-a-Lago where he can continue to share separate bedrooms with his wife, “Melanoma.” And then he can be prosecuted finally for the crimes he committed while in and out of office.

Stay hopeful and calm! We’ve got this!

If there is any final outcome as early as tomorrow night, I will be here to report on it. But I seriously doubt it.

And so it went!
