Corn pop’s revenge. It was always going to be thus… - The Last Refuge   "Here we go, the manufacturing of Madame President continues.

As if the last four days were not enough pop culture to elevate Kamala Harris into the beloved Megan Markle position, here comes Barack and Michelle Obama.

"In a video released by the Harris campaign (the Campaign Manager is Brian Fallon from Clintonian fame), Harris spoke to the Obamas by phone while she was in Indianapolis for an event on Wednesday. Barack Obama said he and the former first lady “couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.” Michelle Obama then added: “This is going to be historic,” a nod to the beatification process currently underway to create the first woman president.'' . . .

In the background, ballot coordinator James Clyburn will be counting on this manufactured enthusiasm to generate the harvesting operation his ballot scanners need.  By my back of the envelope estimation, in the roughly 17 regions that Clyburn controls (central collection points for ballot counting), there are approximately 300,000 to 500,000 potential extra ballots per region.
