Weird that the fight over Neera Tanden was all DC symbolism with almost no content beyond Twitter. And for what? I suspect a large chunk of voters think that OMB stands for Office of Make Believe. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook just asked me to take an online Covid test to aid research at Carnegie Mellon. As supportive as I am about science, I can think of no institution in the world (other than maybe Russian hackers) that I would trust less to safeguard my medical information than Facebook. — PolitiTweet.org

I've checked the history books, but I can find no evidence that Venice bragged that it was "open for business" when the bubonic plague raged in the 14th century. — PolitiTweet.org

@Profepps @rschles @emilythorson There is a big difference between voluntarily stopping future publication and, say, going into libraries and second-hand bookshops to demand they pulp their existing copies. For the record: I am not an attorney nor do I play one on TV. — PolitiTweet.org

@emilythorson I happily yield to your expertise. — PolitiTweet.org

@emilythorson I would guess 70 percent, even though this is a private decision by the copyright holder in conjunction with a private company, the publisher. — PolitiTweet.org

@mseyfang The problem is much more rooted in the difficulties that the Democrats have in electing any senators at all in red states, even formerly competitive ones like Iowa. — PolitiTweet.org

Given Halperin's obsessive prior interest in journalistic status, I don't think the Greek gods could have invented a more appropriate punishment than exiling him to Newsmax. — PolitiTweet.org

@DylanHaymore @Bencjacobs @jbarro You could be right. But I think ranked-choice voting will work against him since I don't think voters for traditional candidates will list him as a favorite. But it is a strange new world. All I can add is that most NYC voters aren't yet paying attention to the June primary. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@DylanHaymore @Bencjacobs @jbarro Polls this early are name recognition only. And I covered the 2020 presidential race and I live in NYC. So sorry, I see minimal evidence that Yang is serious about anything other than running for jobs like president for which he is not qualified. — PolitiTweet.org

This smart article in the Charleston Gazette underscores that WV is drowning in federal dollars -- and another big federal project is not likely to work the way it did in the 1960s. https://t.co/jMfpoNhSXP — PolitiTweet.org

Worth remembering, even if Manchin supported a $15 minimum wage, the WV senator would have been very unlikely to vote to overturn the Byrd Rule named after the long-serving WV senator. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs @jbarro Boffo. Only problem is that he thought he was in Staten Island. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Bencjacobs @jbarro We're in the midst of a pandemic and I have doubts that NYC voters will opt for a guy who is good at short videos, but isn't serious. Remember Yang, for all the publicity, got 1% in Iowa and 3% in NH. De Blasio had to fail at mayor for six years to tumble to those levels. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@JohnJHarwood Actually, my piece with Howard Fineman centered around Bendixen, but the news peg was the straw poll vaulting Cranston into a top position. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@RonBrownstein My coverage of the 1934 Upton Sinclair gubernatorial campaign informed that judgment. Also you can see me briefly in the news reel footage from 1934 in “Mank.” — PolitiTweet.org

@HelenKennedy Absolutely. We are so overdue. In fact, when the weather gets spring-like, I will happily venture to eat outdoors. — PolitiTweet.org

@HelenKennedy My last inside restaurant meal was on March 4, 2020. And, the sad thing is that I can't remember the name of the mediocre East Side restaurant that we went to with friends. — PolitiTweet.org

@dannowicki @SenJohnMcCain I also remember all the heavy support for President Ron Paul at CPAC about 10 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
And the press gobbled it up. I had hoped that straw polls had died forever after the death of the Iowa GOP Straw Poll in 2000. It is like gamblers flocking to a crooked casino because it’s the only game in town. But I love the bygone stories like yours. — PolitiTweet.org

@FeasterFamine That is my point tonight. And I fear that too many will over-react to the CPAC numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

@Bencjacobs Wisconsin trumped everything. Especially my judgment. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@dcg1114 Wisconsin straw poll. It was my first political piece for Newsweek and I wrote it with the equally mortified in hindsight Howard Fineman. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@FeasterFamine But my piece based on a dubious Wisconsin Straw Poll all but proclaimed that Cranston had the 1984 nomination in the bag. I have been embarrassed by that piece for 37 years. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
A reminder as the NY Times home page ballyhoos the results of the CPAC straw poll: Democrats have discouraged straw polls since the 1980s because they are such a flawed measure of anything. I know because I wrote a 1983 Newsweek straw poll piece hailing Alan (yikes) Cranston. — PolitiTweet.org
