Closed captions and mute - that's a great idea. I can't stand to listen to him either.

I'm hoping, with all fingers and toes crossed, that Harris presents some solid policy statements and really pushes the important policies e.g. economics, abortion and women's issues and rights, etc but also that she wipes the floor with him using her arsenal of prosecutorial skills.

She has been consistently ahead in the polls for most states by a few percentage points but she really needs to push forward at least another few points and hold that position so that she can't be beaten by the electoral college.

[You don't know how polite I have been about the US electoral system, especially the electoral college as opposed to "one person one vote", the lack of compulsory voting, and electing a president instead of voting in a political party by a majority of successful candidates. I could really cut loose on all of that, but I have been restraining myself for the sake of maintaining international relations in Mudcatland. :-) Instead I am projecting good thoughts and lots of hope for this election.]
