Today's campaign stops.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

What always amazes me is how grueling the campaign must be for each of the candidates. I suspect I'm in better shape than either - running, lifting, etc. Whenever I take a long flight and get to a hotel room, post putting things away, I like to lay down for a minute.
As part of my career, I also had to give talks - sometimes to hundreds of people. You have to get yourself into a high energy mode to be engaging. Post talks, there's a letdown.
These candidates are going under air travel anesthesia followed by high energy talks - followed by meet and greets - and doing it day after day - for weeks.
Who, in their right mind, would do this?
AND - the pace only picks up as one gets closer to the election. I'm surprised more of these folks don't get sick. I can understand them becoming a bit befuddled - cuz you have to be ON - so much of the time.
In any event, I'm glad it's them and not me

Trump will have more people at PPG Arena than all the PA stops Harris is doing. The Heinz Museum?! A Puerto Rican restaurant? A Philadelphia Museum?

I've asked before - does that really change anything? Aren't most people's minds made up?
Or are they just going there for the joy?

From a friend on PA, Harris has a very strong ground game.

And that’s who the rallies are for. But I am curious, what areas of PA are we talking about? From what I’m seeing, Western PA

Agree 100%. As you mention, travel by itself is quite tiring, even if youre in a private plane, escorted driving, etc.
Add to that the rallies, etc.
Makes me tired just thinking about it.

She's in the Pittsburgh area but said that the Harris campaign supposedly reached 600,000 households on Sunday alone.

That’s impressive. The big concern for Republicans has been the ground game. I don’t know how well Trump’s team is doing.
