@vernvaquer I can respect that. During the height of the pandemic, I binge-watched the entire series. — PolitiTweet.org

Bob Dole turns 98 today. The 27-year Kansas senator was twice Senate majority leader and the 1996 Republican presidential nominee. Dole is both the second-oldest living senator and member of the House, where he was represented west-central Kansas from 1961-69. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlecMacGillis Sadly, if not particularly surprising, a lot of buffet places, salad bars, etc., in downtown D.C. have gone under. Tough to make work under the best of times, but devastating with the loss of foot traffic. — PolitiTweet.org

Two 2021 California gubernatorial recall candidates also ran in 2003. Attorney Daniel Watts (D), running back then as a Green, finished with 2,021 votes. And performer Angelyne, an Independent both times, in 2003 got 2,536 votes. — PolitiTweet.org

@Uncrewed In 1962 McGovern was actually an ex-congressman, having lost a 1960 Senate bid while a House member. But I take the point! — PolitiTweet.org

Turner & Hooch starts streaming Wednesday on #DisneyPlus. Not the first attempted series for the 1989 Tom Hanks buddy cop flick. NBC did a television pilot based on the film in 1990. It aired in the summer with another dog pilot, "Poochinski" under the banner, "Two Dog Night". — PolitiTweet.org

@jbf1755 One of those ideas you kick yourself for not coming up with yourself and patenting. I've thought about this kind of thing many times buying avocados, but took no further action. :-( — PolitiTweet.org

@bcburden Under that map the House majority changed twice, to Democrats in 2006 and Republicans in 2010. So, there was at least a decent amount of competitiveness in district lines. One counterargument is that in huge California, only one race saw a party change, the 11th, in 2006. — PolitiTweet.org

@umichvoter Michigan is an unusual situation for Democrats, in that they might be better off keeping the current map, a partisan GOP gerrymander drawn a decade ago. There's only so much Democratic-friendly territory, which might force at least one incumbent-on-incumbent fight. — PolitiTweet.org

@SopanDeb I'd say 90 minutes is exactly the right time. No need to go earlier. Any later and it's uncomfortably rushed. — PolitiTweet.org

@JMilesColeman In statewide politics, Illinois and Kentucky — the former a Democratic stalwart and the latter reliably Republican. But they're pretty similar in voting habits on both sides of their short border. Similar in other microregions straddling two states. — PolitiTweet.org

@MatthewWallack Kentucky, arguably. Not the other, two, though they share some aspects. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinMKruse Thanks for sharing this list. Interesting that several of these House Democrats in opposition were otherwise considered liberals, and became prominent antagonists of GOP presidents, including future Speaker Jim Wright, and Reps. Wright "John" Patman, and George Mahon. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem for Kiley, 36, an alum of Harvard, and Yale Law School, is winning a statewide bid in deep-blue CA. But he could win a GOP-leaning House seat in NE CA, overlapping or near his legislative district, upon eventual departures of Rep. Tom McClintock or Doug LaMalfa. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

California Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, a gubernatorial recall candidate, would be a natural to join an informal group of Republican senators with elite academic credentials, and potentially national aspirations. Including Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Ben Sasse. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org
