New-Day-Headed-SouthWest-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1114

Firstly it’s a new day headed southwest again and back on the road. After spending a month in New England there’s a lot to review and talk about in New-Day-Headed-SouthWest-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1114.

Details On The First Half Of September

In detail I planned to camp for the first half of September in New Hampshire.

Rain

But it poured rain.

And camping is no fun in the rain.

When Conditions Change

Of course when conditions change plans change.

Notwithstanding the first half of September in New Hampshire was spectacular.

Beaches and Mountains

To explain there were visits to the beach and mountains.

Good Food

As well as a lot of good eating.

Finally most of those experiences are explained in previous podcasts here.

Back On The Road Feels Brand New

Secondly getting back out on the road after only about three weeks feels brand new.

Headed Southwest

Especially when I am headed Southwest.

All in all getting back in the travel and recording groove is surprisingly unfamiliar.

Live From The Forest

So live from the Allegheny National Forest I update podcast subscribers and listeners.

History and Experiences

With this in mind there’s some discussion of the history of the national forests.

And a review of some of experiences at the end of summer in New England.

Brunch On The Atlantic

Afterwards topped off with an emotional family and wedding experience.

Ending with a fabulous brunch on the Atlantic Ocean.

Hit The Road

Thereafter I hit the road with a vengeance.

Three States

Subsequently covering three states before finally getting to the Allegheny National Forest.

Feels Good

Above all I can’t believe how good it feels to be back on the back roads!

Nomad Life Is Good

As a result New-Day-Headed-SouthWest-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1114 includes some observations about Nomad Life.

Behind The Windshield

For one thing I continue to be amazed at how different the back road world is from behind a windshield.

Rather than what we think the world is like scrolling….

Freewheeling Podcast

By and large this podcast is freewheeling.

Stories and Plans

In any event I’ll tell you some stories and share some plans.

No-News-Is-News-Bob Davis Podcast 953

No-News-Is-News-Bob Davis Podcast 953

No News IS News

These days the first thing to know is no news, IS the news. We’ll talk about it in No-News-Is-News-Bob Davis Podcast 953.

Objective Sources?

Most important for this walk and talk podcast is that some people think there are still ‘objective sources’.

Podcast Integration

First of I do walk and talk podcasts for a reason. These freewheeling podcasts are my way of integrating the ‘heavier’ podcasts I’ve done recently.

Therapy

Walking and Talking is therapy for me.

Weirdest Election Ever

Secondly we’re less than 60 days away from what is sure to be one of the weirdest US elections in memory.

Poorly Served

As a result of walking and talking I hit upon the idea we’re still being poorly served by all kinds of media in this country.

Lies are Truth…Truth Is A Lie

Even more is the question of where people turn when the intent of every source is to convince, manipulate or spread lies as ‘truth’.

Pundits Addicted To Predicting

Above all my focus lately has been reporting on political polls. In No-News-Is-News-Bob Davis Podcast 953 I take a few shots at the so called pundits and their predictions.

Rediscovering The Battleground States

Certainly the media has recently rediscovered the so called ‘battleground states’. In recent elections, mostly located in the central US.

Bob Davis Podcasts Has Been In The Battlegrounds All Along

We’ve been discussing the battleground state polls exclusively since 2019. In addition, most of the media aren’t reporting those polls properly currently.

National Polls and Manipulation

Above all this is the place to get analysis on key state polls without the partisanship. In addition I don’t make predictions and I don’t care who ‘wins’ this election.

Realignment

Finally as I think we’re in the midst of a political and social realignment. No one can tell you where that’s going to end up.

Something IS Wrong

For instance the feeling we all have something is wrong but we just can’t put our finger on what it is.

Walking Through A Late Summer Night

To sum up it’s always better to walk through a still late summer night and talk these things out.

That’s what a walk and talk is all about.

(Editor’s Note: I hate it when I have to do corrections, but this was a big mistake, so…Mentioned a Real Clear Politics metric which compares 2016 averages to 2020 averages between Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers then to Joe Biden’s now. I reversed those numbers. Biden is running about one point ahead of Clinton in the top battleground states and substantially better than the former Secretary of State in other metrics. However this doesn’t change how close the polls are overall in the battleground states. But given that I reversed the numbers, the analysis that Biden is running behind Clinton doesn’t work. All the more reason not to do analysis of the polls on the run in a walk and talk podcast.)

Midnight-Lake-Walk-And-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 948

Midnight Lake Walk and Talk

These days I hate to say it but the election campaigns are shifting into high gear. I’ve been touring the upper Midwest and needed more time by the lake. Learn more in Midnight-Lake-Walk-And-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 948.

Political Takeaways From My Recent Road Trip

Certainly my road trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and West Coast was for fun. However I saw some things from a political perspective that are worth mentioning.

Politics Losing Its Luster

Most importantly when you’re doing a road trip podcast the political stuff loses it’s luster.

Stumbling Through Woods and The Shore

Therefore I decided to put my observations into another podcast. So join me as I stumble around the lake shore and woods in Midnight-Lake-Walk-And-Talk-Bob Davis Podcast 948.

Here Comes The Campaign

When this week is over the 2020 election campaign will be in full swing.

No Predictions

In addition to the recent podcasts I’ve done about polling I examine this issue of ‘predicting the future’.

Questions About What We’re Being Told

Even more my quick tour through the traditionally democrat and union parts of the Upper Midwest yields some questions about what you are being told these days.

Far From Decided

I was one of the first who noted that Trump could win in 2016. My analysis of the polls so far as well as some detail gleaned from these trips suggest this election is far from decided yet.

Calm Waters Starlight

Finally there’s something about the calm waters and starlight of a late summer midnight.

Put On Your Headphones

If you listen to this podcast with headphones you’ll be right there with me as I walk barefoot. In the dark. Avoiding acorns and other debris. From the fire to the lake and back.

Media and Campaigns Preaching To The Choir

To sum up despite the media’s penchant for predicting the future and preaching to the choir this is not over.

Suddenly A Literal Three Day TV Commercial Is News?

Most importantly think about the irony of how the media covers conventions which used to be deliberative. What is now news is essentially and literally a produced television commercial.

Either Way People Are Gonna Vote

Even so people are going to make up their minds and cast votes in some way in November.

Beware The Deep Impact…Of An Asteroid!

Unless an asteroid produces a deep impact event, just before the election on November 3rd.
