Just because announced Democratic convention speakers include potential Biden running mates by no means indicates that person won't get chosen. Schedules can be shuffled -- it's happened at many conventions, for both parties. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bakari_Sellers @Theonlyhonest Yup. In 1980, George H.W. Bush spoke on Republican convention's opening night, thinking he was out of the running as Ronald Reagan's choice. Then was tapped two nights later. — PolitiTweet.org

Worthy counterpoint to good-riddance-to-the-political-conventions meme, writes @TeviTroy, arguing they can spur party unity and coordinated campaign messages. https://t.co/jy7rjhd4xl — PolitiTweet.org

@Danny_Jativa Not terrible, but just... Meh. Hillary Clinton could have used a Bernie Sanders-type to help energize that wing of the party, which was decidedly down on her. With Kaine, a case of taking the "do no harm" too far. — PolitiTweet.org

@greenfield64 Completely agree. But I could only go back to 1980 and fit in a tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

Sarah Palin often cited as the worst modern running mate. Second is Jack Kemp, w/ Bob Dole in 1996, who gave a weak debate performance vs. Al Gore. Dan Quayle in 1988, meanwhile, drew embarrassing headlines and spurred jokes, but ticket headed by George H.W. Bush won 40 states. — PolitiTweet.org

Running mates over the past 40 years who did the most damage to the ticket they joined, from most to least. Sarah Palin Jack Kemp Paul Ryan John Edwards Geraldine Ferraro Tim Kaine Lloyd Bentsen Joe Lieberman Dan Quayle Mike Pence Al Gore Dick Cheney George H.W. Bush Joe Biden — PolitiTweet.org

@HowardMortman Ah, interesting -- they list Nixon still as a Californian in 1968 and 1972. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

@HowardMortman It pains me to quibble, but I *think* it's happened before. Richard Nixon's home and voting state in 1960 was California, though he was living in D.C. as vice president. And in 1968 he was a New York resident, where he voted from. — PolitiTweet.org
