As a political reporter, I can say that Wellstone was the favorite candidate and person whom I ever covered. Nearly 17 years after his death in a campaign plane crash on the cusp of winning his third term in the Senate, I am still saddened by the loss. — PolitiTweet.org

As someone who just finished a 4000 word Elizabeth Warren profile for the @newrepublic, I think I can say that I hope and pray a lot more that my piece is insightful and fun reading than whether or not it drives the coverage in our short-attention-span era. — PolitiTweet.org

@benjamin_oc As I recall, the final scene involving the line, "There's a Free French garrison over in Brazzaville," involved Rick and Claude Rains traveling about 4500 miles. But such trips were easier in wartime. — PolitiTweet.org

On a night when Seattle pitcher Mike Leake is carrying a perfect game into the 8th, seven other teams (including the Mariners) have scored double-digit runs. Could someone please explain this discrepancy. — PolitiTweet.org

It certainly gives me something to aspire to when I'm75. Seriously, the only person the field (I believe) who is still alive 37 years later is the great Henry Aaron. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only was the CNN debate draw an embarrassment, but it also got mediocre ratings. I hope the cable networks see an obvious message here. https://t.co/6eLzw8dN3s — PolitiTweet.org

I am always amused by the mealy-mouthed way that the WSJ editorial page deals with Trump's racist moments: "By all means call a policy socialist if that’s what it is. But 'send her back' isn’t worthy of Trump supporters or the great America they want." https://t.co/H8S7Lnh4Xm — PolitiTweet.org

The why-I'm-running answer from @TomSteyer is on par with Ted Kennedy in 1980: “The reason that I couldn’t stay out of this, [was] because I felt like we really are at a turning point, and this actually is the time for us to change the narrative." https://t.co/2DpwSnhBwh — PolitiTweet.org

A big argument for having political parties sponsor the primary debates -- and cable networks broadcasting them or not broadcastingthem as they choose. DNC should be running the entire show, not CNN: https://t.co/OuSbByEIVh — PolitiTweet.org

@dkahanerules @AOC @1PatriciaMurphy You don't understand. I'm talking about a moribund Democratic organization being unable to come close to defeating a well-funded @AOC in a primary. — PolitiTweet.org

@dkahanerules @AOC @1PatriciaMurphy To quote Rumsfeld, "You go to war with the Army you have, not the one that you want." Unless you've have been watching the hapless Queens Democrats blow a primary for DA, you have no idea of the political ineptitude of @AOC's would be rivals. — PolitiTweet.org

@dkahanerules @AOC @1PatriciaMurphy Hard to do with an overwhelmingly Democratic House district, a huge campaign bank account and a feckless group of NYC organization Democrats. The publicity will eventually ebb, but it's hard to imagine her losing the seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Such a smart column on @AOC from @1PatriciaMurphy: "[She] is a gifted politician on a limitless trajectory. But she is also in danger of being pushed away from her own potential as her staff continues to burn more bridges than they are building." https://t.co/i07yHmPmgu — PolitiTweet.org

Since we're emulating sports (thank you, CNN) -- shouldn't candidates be allowed to trade debate nights? Maybe Sanders might offer to swap with Harris for two debate nights to be named later. — PolitiTweet.org
