I remember when I thought that the sudden death of Mr. Peanut would be the worse thing that happened in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

@NoahCRothman Not sure who our cinematic alter egos were. But Jim Fallows, Rick Hertzberg, Bernie Aronson, Gordon Stewart, Christ Matthews and I were all clean-shaven. — PolitiTweet.org

@NoahCRothman Carter speechwriters were clean-shaven. To double-check, I just looked at a picture of the group of us from 1979. — PolitiTweet.org

I goofed. I missed one VP without electoral experience. It was Charles Dawes who was Coolidge's running mate in 1924. Color me mortified. — PolitiTweet.org

As you know, there have been only four VP nominees in the last century who did not serve in Congress or as governor… https://t.co/XSBrS76lk0

@rschles No. But neither had Shriver, Wallace or Knox. That's it going back to 1920. — PolitiTweet.org

As you know, there have been only four VP nominees in the last century who did not serve in Congress or as governor: Sargeant Shriver (1972), Henry Wallace (1940), Frank Knox (1936) and a former NY state senator named Roosevelt in 1920, — PolitiTweet.org

I'm a fan of Susan Rice. That said, I think the political case against her is the Democrats would be forced, partly by the press, to spend three weeks litigating every element of Obama foreign policy. And that would be a distraction that cuts into the political argument for Rice. — PolitiTweet.org

Scoops that make me giggle: "For the past six months, top Trump campaign officials, reporting to Jared Kushner, have been working on a radical overhaul of the Republican Party platform." Gosh, I'm still waiting for Jared to bring peace to the Middle East. https://t.co/ejpfFmyFaS — PolitiTweet.org

The boilerplate answers that come with VP speculation can be comic in their predictable banality. Here's Val Demings on CNN's "State of the Union": Dana Bash: "Do you want to be vice president?" Demings: "What I want to do is continue to work hard to serve the American people." — PolitiTweet.org

I hope everyone is enjoying the wonder of Shut-in Sunday, a Memorial weekend tradition since...well...2020. — PolitiTweet.org

A treat during this terrible time is reading @JournalYear. I love this ode to a lost Hungarian restaurant: "This wasn’t the sort of place you’d go on a date unless the point was to break up; more the sort of place you might discuss funeral arrangements." https://t.co/vkUzcSZpd2 — PolitiTweet.org

Big Memorial Day weekend homebound decisions: What room in our 11th floor apartment do we hold the holiday cookout in? And do we take our holiday swim in the shower or the bathtub? — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol Since Bush kept the Quayle pick secret for dramatic reasons, Republicans at the New Orleans convention didn't have talking points to justify Quayle. Result: For the first 12 hours after the rollout, the only people talking were Senate staffers whispering Quayle is a dim bulb. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol "...And you're no Jack Kennedy" still remains probably the best debate comeback in general election debates. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKarol You've sent me down the mental rabbit hole of recalling how many times I heard Dukakis in 1988 burble about the "Boston-Austin" nexus that so helped JFK in 1960. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@DKarol My favorite counter-example: Lloyd Bentsen. In 1988, VP Bentsen ran 800,000 votes behind Senator Bentsen in Texas, where he could run for both offices at the same time thanks to LBJ. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@DKarol I'm also a believer that a VP doesn't have much effect on anything in most election years. Also, the states of many VP nominees are not in play: Examples: CT (Lieberman), WY (Cheney), DE (Biden), AL (Palin), IN (Pence). — PolitiTweet.org

@DemFromCT In addition to Vietnam, I was also thinking about World War I and every Civil War movie that I've ever seen, starting with "Gone with the Wind." — PolitiTweet.org

The drumbeat of "return to normal, right now" reminds me of the misplaced optimism of confident statements that "the boys will be home by Christmas" that has accompanied the start of virtually every war. — PolitiTweet.org

@jamespmanley Except Quemoy and Matsu were, as I recall, uninhabited hunks of rock. In contrast, Hong Kong is Hong Kong with its proud traditions of freedom. — PolitiTweet.org
