Which Manly Masculine Men are they bringing in bring male voters into the fold?
Well, first, Tim Walz -- who, if he were a GI Joe trooper, would be codenamed "Jazzhands" and would desert the field the moment Cobra is spotted -- is using his unchallengeable status as a Real Masculine He-Man to recruit men into the Kamala Kokonut Koalition.
Kamala Harris is dispatching Tim Walz to turn out male voters.
Faced with a serious polling deficit among young men, Harris' campaign is dispatching the Minnesota governor on a man-focused media blitz on Friday, including football-focused TV interviews and pheasant hunting with digital influencers, according to details shared first with POLITICO.
This sissy ran away from war and deserted his unit, leaving it without a leader.
But he sprays some pellets at some birds so he's totally manly.
He's kicking this tour off by going on, get this, ABC "News," to talk with ex-footballer Michael Strahan, who will no doubt praise him as a real man that black male voters should look up to.
...
Then, the governor will return to Minnesota, where he'll deliver the pep talk to Mankato West's football team, his former football squad, ahead of their game against rivals Mankato East. And on Saturday morning, Walz will take a group of social media influencers, including veterans advocate David Boomer and a Black rodeo star Ramontay McConnell, pheasant hunting in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.
Walz's folksy relatability on TV -- famously tagging Republicans as "weird" -- played a central role in elevating him to Harris' running mate this summer. But since he joined the ticket, he's appeared less frequently on the cable news circuit, drawing criticism from fellow Democrats for the campaign being too cautious.
...
But even as some Democrats had hoped Walz, a former teacher who has strong ties to labor, could help Harris connect with blue-collar voters, that hasn't necessarily worked. Notably, the International Association of Fire Fighters declined to endorse Harris or Trump earlier this month, a snub for the Harris campaign that came as a surprise to her staffers. It may also be a challenging mission to bring over more men to Harris' campaign, which has seen much of its strength built off of its popularity with female voters.
The Democrats' problems with attracting men are so deep that they dispatched Noted Shallowly-Closeted Homosexual Barack Obama to Pennsylvania to gin up votes among black men:
Here are Barack Obama's remarks, chiding black men for making up excuses to not vote for Kamala, asserting the only reason they are not voting for her is her gender:

Eventually, everyone disappoints Barack Obama
By the way, Barack Obama, who oversaw a stagnant economy for eight long, grueling years, is taking credit for Trump's economy.
Democratic strategists and donors criticized Vice President Kamala Harris's economic messaging, saying her recent media appearances have fallen flat with voters as the election draws closer, the Hill reported.
"I feel better than I did last week, but it still doesn't feel great. I have a pit in my stomach," one Democratic donor told the Hill, noting that Harris's economic messaging in her recent interviews was not resonating with voters.
"The economy is issues number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5," the donor said.
...
"She is still fine-tuning her message 28 days out, and I'm sorry, we are in the make-the-sale phase of the campaign now; we're not still tweaking the message," one Democratic strategist said.
...
Since replacing her boss at the top of the ticket, Harris has struggled to build a clear campaign platform. Her team has walked back multiple policy positions she supported in the past--such as a fracking ban and Medicare for All--and tried to distance the vice president from the failures of the Biden administration.
One Democratic consultant worried that although he believes that Harris's campaign is "doing all the right things," it "may not be enough" to get her into the Oval Office.
Rick Moran linked this analysis by Conrad Black.
If allowance is made for the fact that the Democrats carry California and New York by almost 5 million more votes than the Republicans comfortably carry Texas, Florida, and Tennessee, Trump is leading by about 8 million votes in the other 45 states.
Now he's using two polls, Trafalgar and Rasmussen, for his total voter numbers. Those two polls are the best for Trump, and I am hesitant to put too much stock in Trump's best polls. I'd rather go with an average.
But his basic idea is sound enough: There are five states that will clearly go to Harris, or Trump. Most excess -- some might say "wasted" -- votes there are Democrat. Five million more. That means when you look at the vote in the other forty five states, you need to consider that there are fewer "national votes" there. Many "national votes" are stuck in California and New York.
It is still the conventional wisdom that this is a close election, but I do not think so. The only polls that have any record of reliability are those unassociated with the left-wing press and universities and in particular Rasmussen's and Trafalgar. They both show Trump leading the national popular vote by between 1 percent and 2 percent.
As I have mentioned here before, this means that if allowance is made for the fact that the Democrats carry California and New York (82 electoral votes) by almost 5 million more votes than the Republicans comfortably carry Texas, Florida, and Tennessee (81 electoral votes), Trump is leading by about 8 million votes in the other 45 states.
I wonder, though, if you break down the states still further, you might find the "excess" votes of the Republican states maybe exceeds that of the remaining Democrat states? I mean, once excluding NY and California, maybe among non-swing-states, Republicans have more "excess" votes so Black's analysis is wrong.
