As you may have observed from the debate thread, I'm concerned about Biden's chances of defeating Trump in the election.  This heightens the importance of the convention.   I'm going to admit the obvious: Biden looked terrible and while I've always been open to the idea of someone taking over, I didn't think it was going to be this summer -- until last night.  Both Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris looked energetic and ready for a fight and I'm sure Pete is too.
