@ApocalypseHow "Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time, a long time." Geeking out here, but I don't think it's actually referred to by name in the film, just "this R2 unit." I do remember having the action figure as a kid. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dansrambles No Republican president -- or Democratic one for that matter -- today would publicly describe a policy proposal as "liberal." An interesting look at how political language has changed over the past century. — PolitiTweet.org

@billscher Good points. Also, while Democrats kept their majorities in the 1942 midterms it was a brutal election cycle. Amid WW II, the Democratic House majority fell to 222-209. That was down more than 100 seats from just six years before, after the 1936 elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Should NH Gov. Chris Sununu (R), first elected in 2016, win reelection in 2022, he'll break an informal "six-year rule" in his family for officeholding. — John Sununu was governor for six years, 1983-89. — John E. Sununu was a House member 1997-2003 and a senator from 2003-2009. — PolitiTweet.org

With New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu out of the Senate race, the only Republican currently running is retired Army Brig General Donald Bolduc. — PolitiTweet.org

David Mark @DavidMarkDC

The decision by New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) to seek reelection in 2022 rather than run for Senate is a blow of sorts to Rep. Chris Pappas (D). Redistricting is making his House seat much more Republican and a gubernatorial bid would have been a viable option. — PolitiTweet.org

@kudzuvine Good point. Didn't mean to sound flip on that. A problem with Twitter-length messages sometimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Late Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.) lost his 2002 reelection bid after one term. Saddam Hussein/Osama bin Laden ad reflected GOP "War on Terror" theme amid unusual midterm gains for a sitting president's party. Spot seems mild now but it was scandalous — and effective — at the time. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexODiazNV Another one to watch is Orange County, N.Y., straddling the New Jersey and Pennsylvania state lines. Voters there backed the winner in every presidential election from 1996 to 2016, before narrowing supporting Trump's reelection bid in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Neal Smith (Iowa), who has died at 101, was among the longtime Democratic House members swept out of office in the 1994 Republican wave. The decorated World War II veteran, first elected to the House in 1958, lost to GOP rival Greg Ganske, ending his 36-year Hill career. — PolitiTweet.org

Ex-Rep. Neal Smith (D-Iowa), in office from 1959-95, has died at 101. The oldest living House member is now Bob Dole (R-Kan.), who is 98. Better known as former Senate majority leader and the 1996 GOP presidential nominee. Dole represented western Kansas in the House 1961-69. — PolitiTweet.org

With Republicans about to hold the governorship and a majority in the House of Delegates, state Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw (Falls Church) will effectively be the top Democratic official in Virginia. But not much room for error. Democrats' state Senate margin in 21-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic troubles in South New Jersey were presaged in 2020 by party-switching Rep. Jeff Van Drew's easy reelection win. The Republican convert beat a member of the Kennedy family, to boot. — PolitiTweet.org
