JD Vance Could Do "A Biden" and Step Down

" ... the rule [Rule 9] explicitly applies to a scenario in which Vance voluntarily steps aside ..." - Business Insider, July 26, 2024

Proven-out political strategist James Carville warns post-Biden Dems not to be giddy about Kamela Harris' early success. It will be a tough fight with a close finish, he predicts. I believe that. 

The fight could get a lots tougher and give high-profile supporters ranging from the Obamas who are now in to well-connected fundraiser Paul, Weiss chair Brad Karp agita if Donald Trump banishes JD Vance from the ticket. 

The one-time wonderboy with the once-useful narrative of a hardscrabble background quickly became a liability. 

The tragic flaw seems to be the inability to, as we say in communications and coaching, "size up the room." America, for example, was not receptive to have women who didn't reproduce put into a penalty box. 

Also, with DEI dying, the poor-boy saga no longer plays well. Instead the attention shifts to a question: So what have you accomplished? Research is showing that Vance's adult track record in terms of achievement isn't all great, including his stint in venture capital. What has he done for Ohio? The polling about Ohio and other midwest states is dismal. For example, the CNN/SSRS found a 28 approval rate, with a 44 disapproval one.

Trump is known for firing. He could take that step, again. It could be positioned and packaged as Vance "doing a Biden," that is, announcing that he is stepping down. His brand, of course, would have to be reset. 

If Vance is wise, and that does not seem to be the case, he will create a new persona - one of extreme service. Vance 2.0 could "do a Jimmy Carter" following the disgrace of being assessed negatively as a president and going down as a one-termer.

Kirkland & Ellis Reported to Be Building Moat Around Firm to Deter Poaching of Stars

  "Kirkland gives partners more than half their pay after the end of the year in which they earn it. For partners who depart to other firms, the new policy gives the firm discretion to withhold that pay, according to a person familiar with the change."   Bloomberg Law , July 18, 2024 Scrapper Kirkland & Ellis is no slouch when it comes to protecting its business - known as the most successful law firm in the world.  Paul Weiss  certainly got in the way by launching not one but two high-profile raids on its London office stars. Gone were brandnames ranging from Neel Sachdev to Roger Johnson. In addition, Latham poached Matthew Cohn. If there is such a policy, as reported, then Kirkland & Ellis has created what could be an effective deterrent for both partners' leaving and potential poachers' approaching the star lawyers. And it all comes downs to money - big money: That is, both what partners would leave behind which they have already earned and how much other

Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani's March 2021 Cocaine+ Death - So?

   It had been way back more than a year ago that first-year associate at law firm Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani died from cocaine laced with fentanyl. Yet that story keeps resurfacing.  This week  RollonFriday  revisits it. And  Reddit Big Law  considers the issue if the energy from cocaine is what's making possible those 2,500 hours billed in law firms.  Is what's keeping this on the radar the hunch that use of the illegal substance cocaine is common among those practicing law? After all, in addition to being an energy-booster, it provides a nice reward for such hard-working lawyers. Also, they have the earnings to afford it. Most of the rest of gunners have to stick with boozing. So, why not?  The reality might be setting in that the death could simply have been an aberration. Think about it this way: Ghahramani had bad luck in her alleged choice of dealers. Others might be able to exert more scrutiny in overseeing the content of the illegal drugs they sold. The message c

Up-or-Out: McKinsey Raises the Pressure, In Contrast Some Law Firms Ease It through Nonequity Partner Tier

" McKinsey & Co.  warned some US consultants last week they are running out of time to win promotion, raising the 'up or out' pressure on staff as the global consulting industry struggles." - Abovethefold Article in Bloomberg , March 27, 2024 This is yet another sign that once-iconic McKinsey is a professional services firm in trouble. One challenge is overcapacity of manpower. It has also warned about 3,000 consultants about "concerns" regarding their performance.  In addition to the overall slowdown in management consulting, McKinsey faces scrutiny from myriad sources about its client list including assignments with China and Saudi Arabia. There also has been that hatchet-job book "When McKinsey Comes to Town." The most damning aspect of the expose is that former employees dump on it. Posts on the professional anonymous network Fishbowl Consulting aren't optimistic about a turnaround at McKinsey or at other players in that sector. In cont
