The big moments to watch:

1. The inevitable 60 Minutes interview.
2. The DNC speech.
3. The debates, if they happen.
4. The first no-holds-barred press conference.

If Kamala can do well with those, she has a good chance of keeping her generally positive momentum.

Hopefully they are coordinated in a fashion to keep the news cycle fresh. It seems like that is what’s happening.

As the PSA guys said recently, even if weird doesn’t have staying power, boring and stale probably do. Trump’s just tedious at the point. Nothing new, nothing interesting. Just the same old boring, tired, self-indulgent litany of grievances. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Totally agree. Everyone who isn't a dyed-in-the-wool MAGA is tired of the anger, bitterness, chaos, etc. I know that it's popular to talk about how dumb and uninformed the average American voter is, but ultimately I think that unites the most important part of the electorate is that hope, optimism, forward-looking, and "new" are hallmark American themes that resonate. And I think that's what swing voters are going to choose.
 
There is nothing, not one word that trump or Vance can say that will add to their vote total at this point. It is what it is.

Harris has major upside potential if she can convince the young people and the people who were completely disaffected by their choice a month ago that there is a positive vote they can place and not just a negative anti trump vote. Obviously she has to avoid major gaffes but she has a lot of low hanging fruit to go after vis a vis trump.

I am also less concerned about her performance in the presidential primary 4 years ago. She ain't having to stand out on a crowded stage of good debaters. She only has to compete against the muddled mind and tired rhetoric of trump.
 
I'm an atheist but I wouldn't mind it if someone were to start a meme:

Everyone is saying that it is a miracle that Kamala's campaign has taken off like a rocket and there can be only explanation:

God has sent us Kamala Harris to save America from the evildoers !!!

5 point Democratic lead in a Rasmussen poll is a surprise.

Not to me, or at least not that much. Rasmussen has, in the last couple of cycles, been a little bit less of a GOP shill in the past. I think the bad press endangered the business -- if a pollster can't be relied on, what good is he? I think he's probably still favorable to the GOP but it's not like what it was.

Meanwhile, could Kamala's lead be 5 or 7 or 8? I think so. Momentum like this takes a little while to fully seep into poll numbers. I've been predicting (loosely -- there's little methodology here) that her poll numbers would steadily rising up to the DNC. I've thought they could peak at +10 or +11, though that might be a little high. Possible, though.

It does put the Michigan +12 number reported earlier on this thread or another one in better perspective. That's probably a little on the high side, but I could believe Michigan +8

Video or it didn't happen. I bet there isn't a professional golfer alive who has eagled from the fairway 2 consecutive holes.

I've been going to the masters for 40 years and could count on 2 hands the number of fairway eagles I have witnessed.
