judeling's JournalTara Reade, Al Franken did Klobuchar get a bump?
With Media whataboutism and the way Trump is, the Tara Reade story will be with us throughout the election.
Klobuchar is the only short lister who is in a totally consistent position. Believe but investigate.
From Kirby Puckett to Kavanaugh she has shown the willingness to believe and investigate and carry through. At the same time she has shown that the investigation is needed with Franken. While this will not be the most important consideration it will be part of the considerations so it will be a factor in the thinking.
Remdevivir Fauci what this means
https://twitter.com/QuickTake/status/1255539357911584768This was a real study. Results were important enough that the independent monitoring committee had an ethical obligation to inform the control group.
This is good news, it is not game changing news.
What this study shows that there is a real possible treatment possible. That the drug performed in the way it was expected shows that the virus is able to be attacked. It also allows for the possibility that combinations of drugs can become an effective treatment.
But Fauci is being very careful to do is while allowing hope, tempering it with reality.
But what this really does right away is offer the possibility that this drug can, by reducing time, increase our hospitals capacity to care for the ill.
Election 2020 Think 1932
1932 campaignRoosevelt's campaign for president was necessarily cautious. His opponent, President Herbert Hoover, was so unpopular that FDR's main strategy was not to commit any gaffes that might take the public's attention away from Hoover's inadequacies and the nation's troubles. FDR traveled around the country attacking Hoover and promising better days ahead, but often without referring to any specific programs or policies. Roosevelt was so genial—and his prescriptions for the country so bland—that some commentators questioned his capabilities and his grasp of the serious challenges confronting the United States.
People rightly see FDR are a progressive champion. But he did not run his campaign that way and it probably wasn't his base orientation. Circumstances led to the progressive gains.
It should also be noted that the New Deal was criticized from the left as not going nearly far enough.
Sad, happy, inspired. My Hometown and HHH too

Hey Joe get ahead of this.
Joe has a town hall tonight and would be well served to get ahead of the crisis. Tornado, fire and hurricane season is coming and the effect on strained resources, shelter in place and first responders will be severe.
Get this out now and some helpful ideas about how to handle it. Make Trump follow.
Amy's Husbad improves. (update Now at home)

I am very happy for her and her family, but this also is a big part of the tale. He is a "moderate" case. Not on a ventilator but looks to be in the hospital for some time to come, unless of course where he is becomes way overcrowded in which case they will probably try and get him home much more quickly then is medically indicated.
This is the story for many more the ICUs taking up resources and personal in may more numbers then looking at just the toplines indicate.
Slate has a good Idea about Warren and Klobuchar as the face of the party durring the crisis.
Why not turn over the party’s messaging about the pandemic to the two-woman team of Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren?
That the piece makes some really good points.
Anyone who saw Amy on Maddow the other night saw the emotional impact of her husband's situation has. We have a country longing for some sort of unity in the face of the crisis and having those two working together putting out a clear message with real information could just end up saving lives.
Biden Sends Klobuchar to Michigan
Joe takes no time getting his new surrogates out on the trail for him. Once a candidate withdraws they a somewhat short self lif unless used right away.
I wonder if Pete will get dispatched and where?
But getting Amy in the field this soon and running in advance of his own trip makes a ton of sense. If I was Joe I'd have her stop in North Dakota on the Way to Spokane and the Seattle suburbs.
The County responds to the Amy putting an "innocent" in jail
Many of you have heard about the Tyesha Edwards case from the AP story Amy Klobuchar helped jail teen for life, but case was flawed.
The Hennepin County attorney has come out with a statement today.
A: Myon Burrell has said a lot of things. He initially told police he was in Bemidji with his mother at the time of the shooting. Then, during his trial, the second alibi was, he was at a friend’s house playing video games. Now, a news report claims Mr. Burrell has a third alibi, that two people are claiming they were with him at a nearby grocery store at the time of the shooting. These two people never came forward and no plausible explanation has been offered why these two people waited 18 years to say anything. Mr. Burrell remains in prison because a jury, then a judge, found him guilty of murdering Tyesha Edwards and the Minnesota Supreme Court agreed.
I feel very strongly about this case I live 4 blocks away and what Amy actually did at the time was good.
If you read the statement I'd like to point out that the Innocence Project's involvement is not unusual here as Amy Brought then in right at the start of her term and the connection has been maintained ever since.
Amy is not going anywhere just yet.
Nor should she. She remains the best possible President in the field and the strongest general election candidate.
Bernie has bee running for 5 years and it showed in Nevada.
Amy is just ow being noticed and across the board she had a 5 - 7 point bump coming out of NH. People are just paying attention and so as a classic head before heart candidate it takes a little time.
Post super Tuesday will be time enough.
