Really it comes down to this. What is more risky... leaving Biden on the ticket or somebody replacing him? There are arguments in either direction, and normally I would say that replacing at this juncture is much more risky. But Biden is facing an unprecedented amount of doubt about his basic fitness to do the job and anybody who would replace him would fare much better on that question. I understand the Dem concerns about trying to consolidate behind an alternate candidate, but the opponent is Donald Trump. That alone will be a huge motivating factor to get out the vote among Dems, especially after yesterday's Supreme Court ruling on issues of immunity. They are terrified of Trump. Gonna be interesting to watch this unfold.

I haven’t felt this type of humidity back in Chicago! Supposed to be 114-116F from the 4th thru next Tue. Thankfully, the DP’s will be much lower.

For Portland, I ranked 1981 above 2023 because it was 107, 105, 107. For Eugene I have it tied with 1981, both of which above 2021. 2021 had 2 days above 100 and 1 above 105, but both 1981 and 2023 were 4 days, 2 at 105. 1981 had the higher high temps (average high 104.5 vs 103.75), but 2023 had the higher lows due to the smoke. By anomaly 2023 should win, but I weight the highs more since we're awake then so that's what takes it to a tie IMO.

Sure, that’s one of her negatives. All candidates have negatives. Biden’s negatives are now worse. Biden's mental and physical health have declined to the point where is incapable of discharging the powers and duties of his office. The US Constitution has something to say about what happens (or perhaps I should say what should happen) when that is the case.

That makes my 94/107 seem cool.
