ED MORRISSEY: Dems, Media Begin Captain Louis Renault Award Contest Over Declinin Biden. Get the V

Assuming Kamala replaces Sundown Joe, the media will coalesce lockstep around her, just as they did during Obama s rapid rise to power during the 2008 election cycle. As Jim Treacher wrote last week:

I don t normally do predictions, but here s one you might not like: Kamala Harris will be the Democratic nominee, and she ll defeat Donald Trump in November.

I said what I said.

Think about it: What Democrat in good standing is gonna sit at home on Election Day, when they ve got a chance to stop Trump and make history by electing the first woman president? A multiracial POC, to boot!

Plus, she s not bad-looking for a woman her age. For most Americans, that s all they ll see. They don t know anything about any of the issues. They ll just see an attractive, youthful person of color against a grouchy old white man they really hate.

It ll be 2008 all over again.

I think this is more likely than everybody seems to think. It would at least be a nail-biter, I hazard.
