The polls look good for the Biden/Harris ticket right now. The president’s poor handling of the pandemic, the resulting economic collapse and his poor performance of the first debate have resulted in a number of declines in key battleground states such as Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

[Fundraiser!] Help Send Flip2020 to Political Street Theater Training at Bread and Puppet
Getting the attention of voters is not an easy task these days. It’s particularly hard in a swing state like Maine where over $160 million Republican and Democrat dollars have poured in to paint the airwaves, phone lines, and social media feeds with partisan slogans.

Trump is an expert at drawing media attention, but often these stories don’t matter much. ItContinue reading “Why Maine?”
