Winding backroads to Morgan Hill and Gilroy along Calero Reservoir south of San Jose are fun for motorcycle riders, and across the water are trails ideal for mountain bikers.

Judy Woodruff: There are a lot of Democrats who are changing their registration.
Tamara Keith: There are not enough Democrats in Wyoming to help her win. That said, she has the Cheney name and is unlikely to disappear from the political scene, certainly.

Amy Walter: And a lot of Democrats nationally are writing checks to her. She has a very big bank account right now. She’s not going to spend it all down even in this primary. You can’t spend that much money in Wyoming.
Voters are pissimistic about the economy and think that Biden and Democrats aren’t doing a good job and believe Republicans would do better. That’s what you make the campaign about.
The more the campaign is about Donald Trump, January 6, abortion, the better it is for Democrats. It becomes really a choice election, instead of a referendum.
And even if it is a referendum between Biden and Trump, that’s probably pretty good for Democrats, not very good for Republicans.

Eastern Sierra in the far distance. Back in 2007, M & I hiked all day in the scorching heat trying to reach Papoose Flat, where those little sharp peaks are in the distance (left of center).
