In the 1980s President Nixon met and corresponded with many people who he felt could facilitate his return to public life. This is the practice of politics. The article, to its credit, points out the relationship was transactional and no significance should be attached. - RZ
At the time Mr. Trump was at his first peak of media influence, and President Nixon worked in and around New York City, as he continues to do. To encounter Mr. Trump was inevitable, and to fail to cultivate the relationship, to a point, would be malpractice. - RZ

We do not however credit the Associated Press for neglecting to invite comment from this office. - RZ

Uecker is dead. No tribute can do him justice. He lived a long life, and was himself to the end. He went like I think he wished to go; quietly, without distraction to the team. But I want to offer some thoughts in what is a very upsetting time for many people.
He was a better ballplayer than he took credit for. He couldn’t hit, didn’t have a great arm. He worked that to the hilt. But he was a smart catcher. You don’t last as long as he did on personality. This came through in the broadcasts. You laughed but you always learned things.
His gift as a broadcaster was that he was incapable of being anything but himself. The guy who held hands with Gibson, played a tuba on the field, batted lefty for his baseball card. That was not an act. He was who he was.

We'll discuss more about how and why it occurred. It isn't clear yet, and it won't be for some time. But the main points are these. First men, especially young men, turned out in a way that is almost unprecedented.
These are largely people that in terms of lifestyle and so forth pollsters will never reach. I and others did not count them out but we severely underestimated their drive to get to the polls.
Second, don't go up the garden path of Gaza, Cheney, Shapiro, anything like that. (I think Walz was somewhat mismanaged, but it's a moot point.) The scale of the defeat is bigger than any of this, to the point where I'm not sure any Democrat could have won.

We’ve been light on politics here for two reasons: we’ve never sweated every change in the wind, which I think people appreciate. And I think the baseball playoffs afforded people a much-needed rest. But that’s over. It’s time now to look down the barrel and focus.
As you know, we keep up the work in the background, no matter what. So here are some things to guide your thinking into next week. I’m not going to argue about them. If I’m wrong I’ll say so, as I have in the past. But this is as I see it.
I’d rather be Harris than Trump. Besides the advantages in money, local organization, and (in particular) online advertising, she has bent but not broken in the northern swing states. If she was going to bleed you’d see it there first.

The Mets have nothing to be ashamed of. The season is by any measure a success. Lots of people, including me, and with good reason, saw them early in the season as beyond hope. The credit is Mendoza's, and it's further proof of how in baseball nobody knows anything.
That said, I wouldn't stand pat. I've long said the Mets need to move on from Alonso and McNeil, and I stand by that. You can't rely on Igelsias being that hot again, and I wouldn't rest on the starters all coming together at once either. They need bullpen help.
Besides the obvious, Lindor and so forth, the one who distinguished himself for me is Marte. I've always liked him. A good professional ballplayer.

We haven't been to the forefront on politics in the past few days. This is for several reasons, mainly that to do so would be, you know, to follow the rabbit at the dog track. We've never engaged in that, and those of you stick around appreciate it, I think.
Nevertheless I'd like to make a few general statements.
First, the fundamentals favor Harris. But that is as far as I'm prepared to go. The polls simply will not give you a good read on things, and if you live or die with them you're part of the problem. If we are quiet it's because we try to look at things locally.

Vance won, for what it’s worth. He was calm, respectful, reasonable. He treated Walz as a decent man with whom he happens to disagree. He lied through his teeth. But it doesn’t matter.
Everyone who cared to watch this has already formed an opinion of Vance. If you like him or hate him, you see through what he did. In the short term it helps Trump only in that it keeps Vance off the news for saying something stupid.
It helps Vance personally because it sets him up for ’28. This is the footage they’ll reach back to. Whatever the relative advantage to Trump I expect he’s not pleased. Vance spoke of Trump a lot, kept him to the front, but to Trump he was soft.
