Who gets walking pneumonia and how is it spread?
People who live and work in crowded places, such as schools, homeless shelters, and prisons have a higher risk of contracting the disease. That's because walking pneumonia is contagious. It's spread when someone comes in contact with droplets from the nose and throat of someone who has it. That commonly happens when the person with walking pneumonia sneezes or coughs.

Hillary Clinton Gets Gored
Paul Krugman
Yet throughout the campaign most media coverage gave the impression that Mr. Bush was a bluff, straightforward guy, while portraying Al Gore whose policy proposals added up, and whose critiques of the Bush plan were completely accurate as slippery and dishonest. Mr. Gores mendacity was supposedly demonstrated by trivial anecdotes, none significant, some of them simply false. No, he never claimed to have invented the internet. But the image stuck.

Willie Brown Warning "Trump team will hit hard to reap rewards of split votes"
We all need GOTV for HRC victory
By Willie Brown

All of you who have been counting Donald Trump out of the presidential race, remember, the real race doesnt begin until Sept. 1.
What weve seen up until now, including the Donalds missteps, misspeaks and mistakes, is the political equivalent of spring training.
Within the next two weeks, you are going to see a wholly different campaign. Former Fox News chief Roger Ailes will handle Trump in the same fashion he made a conservative TV network the force it is today.
My fear, as a Democrat, is that the Ailes strategy will be to reduce the message during the final months down to trustworthiness the single issue where polls show Trump stands a chance of besting Hillary Clinton. And that is a frightening prospect.
(Snip)
Trump will spend the fourth quarter hammering away on those two issues: change and trust. The uglier he can make the campaign, the more undecided voters will be inclined to cast protest votes with third-party candidates.
