Personally, I'm worried that the next time that I fly, I will be so rusty that I will need instruction from the flight attendants on how to work a seatbelt. — PolitiTweet.org

Kelly O'Donnell @KellyO

Just realized it has been one month since I was last on an airplane. That is the longest stretch with no travel that I have had in years.

My Sanders political obit for @newrepublic: "There will be the inevitable debates over why Bernie lost the nomination fight. The simplest explanation is that Sanders never understood that presidential politics is premised on inclusion rather than purity." https://t.co/Dqm5QKGMDL — PolitiTweet.org

@RonBrownstein My ultimate off-the-charts possibility (which has about a 3-percent chance of being right, tops) is Lisa Murkowski. — PolitiTweet.org

From my latest @newrepublic piece: "Although Democrats spending their home quarantines sitting on window ledges may find this hard to believe, Biden is actually in much better shape than many prior nominees who also wrapped things up in the early spring." https://t.co/nNgU7mxZFr — PolitiTweet.org

Gore may have won and Kerry came 120,000 votes in Ohio away from winning. More important, I didn't think Jimmy Carter analogies from 1976 would work. But, seriously, every de facto nominee faces a let-down after the primaries are over. — PolitiTweet.org

From my @newrepublic piece on Biden: "Virtually every presidential candidate spends weeks—sometimes months—wandering in the wilderness after wrapping up the nomination." Gore (2000) and Kerry (2004) were at this point floundering more than Biden is today. https://t.co/nNgU7mxZFr — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveKettmann @greenfield64 @georgevecsey @davidfrum @JamesGleick @powellnyt @NormOrnstein I stayed in loose touch with Murray over the years. And in fact one of my life thrills was talking at length with him on the floor of the 1984 Democratic convention in SF. Last time I saw him was in NH in 1995 when we couldn't get into a Steve Forbes event. So we went to lunch. — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveKettmann @greenfield64 @georgevecsey @davidfrum @JamesGleick @powellnyt @NormOrnstein I remember fragments of life advice from that campaign day -- like Murray reveling in the notion of only wanting to work for publications that were "not quite respectable." As I recall, Murray explained that career choice saved him from writing about the future of NATO. — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveKettmann @greenfield64 @georgevecsey @davidfrum @JamesGleick @powellnyt @NormOrnstein I spent the day with Murray and pretty much forgot about Bush. My impromptu job was to retrieve Murray's raincoat from whenever he left it, which meant much backtracking to the consternation of the Bush handlers. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveKettmann @greenfield64 @georgevecsey @davidfrum @JamesGleick @powellnyt @NormOrnstein I grew up revering Murray Kempton in the old liberal NY Post. I clipped out his column and put them on a bulletin board as a 13-year-old. First met him in 1980 in NH when we were both covering George Bush./1 — PolitiTweet.org

How Covid-19 cured me of skepticism about vote-by-mail. The outrageous decision by the Wisconsin GOP legislature and its enablers on the state supreme court to hold an in-person election in the midst of a pandemic is horrifying. My @BrennanCenter column: https://t.co/MJC0skfW6f — PolitiTweet.org
