@davidaxelrod The strikes against Biden: Age, fundraising, questions about his political agility, heightened lately by his slow response to Trump’s Ukraine attacks. His assets: a deep respect+and abiding affection among Democrats. Especially centrist, more moderate and African American voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden may fold like a beach chair once voting begins. But so far he’s hung in there – maybe even in spite of himself. “It’s his race to lose. And a lot of people who support him are frightened he just might find a way to do it.” Sayeth no less an authority than @DavidAxelrod. — PolitiTweet.org

He’s had a pretty crappy last several months. And yet he’s still at our near the top of polls, both nationally and in the key states of Iowa and New Hampshire. In South Carolina, he’s crushing it. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren is running. And running and running. As health becomes an issue in the Democratic race, she's flaunting her fitness. (Et tu, Bernie and Joe?) @hookjan https://t.co/E4FDk0aVsU — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Z. Barabak @markzbarabak

Joe Biden is one of the most precarious frontrunners in modern times. Yet he'll be front and center once more when Democrats debate on Tuesday night, staggered but still standing. How much longer? That depends https://t.co/5bIfqLvaEt — PolitiTweet.org

Partisan talking points aside, @LATstevelopez offers some perspective on California's blackout: PG&E has a history of putting profits over system upgrades. The utility was hit with a criminal conviction for a gas pipeline explosion that killed eight people https://t.co/eVk6i4wLx1 — PolitiTweet.org

Facile as comparisons may be, all blackouts are not politically alike. @philwillon and @TarynLuna on similarities vs differences between the 2001 electricity crisis -- which helped lead to Gray Davis' eventual ouster -- and the current PG&E fiasco. https://t.co/nTfbSDdu1U — PolitiTweet.org

@dakasler @cmarinucci @Schwarzenegger My 2 cents: Quite possibly the worst time to assess the political fallout from a given situation is when you're smack dab in the middle of it. Especially when the next election is still 3+ years away. — PolitiTweet.org
