This is the Mark Simone Show.

I'm 710 W-O-R.

Well, you got 69 days till the election.

You got, that's not a lot of time.

But, you know, this is the way it used to work years ago.

A million years ago, you had the conventions.

They'd pick a candidate, and then after the conventions were over, that's when the presidential race began, 70 days, 75 days.

That was the normal presidential race.

That's how it always worked for a million years.

It was only in the last 10 or 12 or 15 years that this thing started about begin the primaries early and it somehow

stretched out to like a year of a campaign.

But this is the better way.

This is how most countries do it.

You know, just two months.

That's it.

That's a campaign.

So a lot is going to happen.

Now, the reason there's panic in the Harris campaign behind the scenes, they're putting on a brave face.

But the polling, the real polling, not the fake public polls, the real polling, not looking good for them.

And the thing that's alarming them is apparently there was no bump from the convention.

There was no convention bounce.

Normally, you hope to get eight to ten points. Nice bounce off the convention. The convention is a four-night commercial, infomercial for you, and it gives you a nice eight-to-ten point bounce. Now, it doesn't always last, but at least you get that.
