@SteveKettmann To end this streak, you not only have to run but also win. Think of the presidential campaigns of John Lindsay, Rudy and Mike Bloomberg. Plus Ed Koch's ill-fated effort to be governor. — PolitiTweet.org

@MisterLoyalEsq @newrepublic For the third time, even without crediting Biden, the national mood will lighten, which traditionally has the effect of helping the party in power. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@MisterLoyalEsq @newrepublic From my article: "Given the missteps of the last few months, Biden may personally never receive full credit if the pandemic recedes into the background. But the Democrats’ fortunes may rebound as the national mood lightens." — PolitiTweet.org

Me in @newrepublic: "In contrast to everyone else doom scrolling about the pandemic, political handicappers seem determined to treat 2022 as an ordinary election year. But that’s like ignoring the Depression in making political predictions about 1932." https://t.co/PYcXdAMM8i — PolitiTweet.org

Awful downside of not traveling and staying in hotels during the pandemic — I am out of soap. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@MaryBuggieHunt My point in the article is that we don’t know. And election handicappers are treating things like the pandemic will go on like this through 2022 and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
My latest piece stressing that unless you know what the mood about COVID will be in October 2022 then it is folly to make election forecasts. It is like ignoring the Depression in handicapping 1932. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbview @BrendanNyhan I agree that a lot depends on the state of the pandemic in October. But I disagree that Biden isn’t getting the blame. Think of the civil rights group that boycotted his speech in Georgia. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@brianros1 And I would have gleefully taken what they might have gotten. Instead, they shot for the moon (even though they didn't have the fuel) and landed in the Atlantic Ocean instead. (I can't decide about the merits of my moon-shot imagery). — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@jbview @BrendanNyhan Think there is a big downside in falling short, as Biden apparently has done. The level of disillusionment in the Democratic base is currently much much greater than if the Biden White House had never talked, for example, about $3.5 trillion. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@brianros1 Alternative they had was to recognize from the outset that $1.5 trillion was about the most they might get under reconciliation. And to strip everything that didn't affect 2022 directly out of the voting bill. We don't need for Election Day to be a national holiday, for example. — PolitiTweet.org

@moorehn It would take a walk of maybe 15 feet for Manchin to caucus with the Republicans who would preserve or enhance all his committee assignments. That's the problem with armchair experts who are advocating threats -- Manchin alone could make McConnell the majority leader. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@BrendanNyhan I think a large portion of the problem was that Democratic activists refused to be realistic about what a 50-50 Senate meant. And Biden and Company, petrified of losing the Democratic base, played along with their ludicrous delusions. The result: Terrible disillusionment. — PolitiTweet.org

@bluestein Is that a Georgia or a Southern expression? Living in NY and earlier DC, going to school in Michigan and growing up in Connecticut, I have never encountered the "Devil's Dandruff" before. This omission may reflect my cloistered life. — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyDinSalemIL I see your point, I think. But I also recoil at, say, the CDC not mentioning testing in trimming quarantine to five days because of their fears of a shortage of tests. The same with high-quality masks. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
This is so important from my favorite Covid commentator: The CDC seems "to be speculating as social scientists, except getting it wrong." So many misguided CDC recommendations are based on their views of social engineering -- and not science. — PolitiTweet.org
