@ArthurHochstein I deliberately slept through the Quayle breakfast because I had gotten back to my room at 4:00 am and everyone knew he wouldn't be the VP. One of my greatest embarrassments as a journalist was having to borrow the tape of the breakfast to write a Quayle cover story. — PolitiTweet.org

@ArthurHochstein I remember being put in some medical visiting center of a hotel about 15 miles from New Orleans. But, as I learned out of desperation, if you call often enough a room at a good hotel downtown will open up. So I think I only spent one night on the Mississippi border. — PolitiTweet.org

It happens to me every convention. Once again, where I'm staying is not even in the same state as the convention. — PolitiTweet.org

That suggests that the opening night of the GOP Convention will not dominate next Monday’s news. — PolitiTweet.org

@DickYoungsGhost @mpdillon God, I thought I was the only one left who remembers that great convention gift to reporters by the railroad industry. Unlike the CNN Grill, any reporter with press tags could wander in and grab a name-brand Scotch and a great roast beef sandwich. — PolitiTweet.org

@stuloeser @mpdillon Since the Republicans in Cleveland in 2016. Ultimately, I watched the convention in a quiet nook in a hotel lobby with a bar nearby. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@mpdillon So tired of the omnipresent security. So I am going to take the radical step of watching the convention on TV with a drink in my hand since ultimately it’s a TV show. Scoff all you like, but it beats a filing center. — PolitiTweet.org

Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
This is the biggest and most challenging piece I have written since the primaries. It is my effort for the @newrepublic to get beyond position papers and speeches and seriously envision Biden in the White House. It's wonderful pre-convention preparation:https://t.co/tCb47F3FAi — PolitiTweet.org

What awaits a President Biden: "Only Franklin Roosevelt...inherited comparable challenges. But the Depression was only an economic catastrophe, and Herbert Hoover, paralyzed though he may have been as president, was an honorable man." Me in @newrepublic: https://t.co/tCb47F3FAi — PolitiTweet.org

@downgerd @newrepublic To be technical, WWII was the worst crisis. What we're dealing with now: the pandemic, the economic collapse and the breakdown of the rule of law under Trump are arguably the worst set of crises. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to Ronald Shafer for evoking the first TV conventions in 1948. Read it to learn why no campaign will ever again release 50 white doves. Many of these stories are also in A.J. Baime's excellent new book on the 1948 campaign, "Dewey Beats Truman." https://t.co/DBhwR0L0SU — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @Olivianuzzi for the best political piece of the weekend. A highlight: Trump's Potemkin Village ground game in PA. https://t.co/sAU1kSRgUs — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidKusnet Just finished the new book on the 1948 race by A. J. Baime called “Dewey Beats Truman.” Recommend it highly. Biggest complaint is that Thomas Mallon used the same title for a novel about 1948. — PolitiTweet.org

@ktumulty @AlxThomp @jomalleydillon I certainly knew it was your voice assessing the pre-Jen Biden campaign. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@ktumulty @AlxThomp @jomalleydillon Jim Clyburn saved the Biden campaign. As someone who (like @ktumulty) spent a lot of time watching Biden in the fall and in IA and NH, the campaign desperately needed a reboot. — PolitiTweet.org

Aren't Trump and his buddies at the Post Office opening up an entirely new front in the War Against Christmas by destroying mail delivery so that Christmas cards will not be delivered before Easter? Where is Bill O'Reilly when you need him? — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Sound familiar? "It is not just a battle between two parties. It is a fight for the very soul of the American government." That's from a Harry Truman speech in Chicago, a week before the 1948 upset. Hat tip to A.J. Baime's new book: https://t.co/MXc6VWcfHv — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @ktumulty for a great profile of the backstage star of 2020 politics -- Biden's campaign manager @jomalleydillon. Between her attic and Biden's basement, they have reinvented politics on the fly in the middle of a pandemic. https://t.co/yYp01MVCsJ — PolitiTweet.org

@SusanZakin Unlike prior conventions, they don't have a lot of time to work with. In the past, Democrats who might veer off message were given slots at, say, 7:30 before the big audiences tuned in. This year the virtual convention starts at 9:00 limiting their options. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@GreggJLevine Finally, before I return to my vacation, I totally agree with you that the conventions may have been permanently killed by the pandemic. As long ago as 1984, network executives were calling them a "dinosaur." — PolitiTweet.org
