@mattsgorman One of the myths of Booker is that he beat the machine. Sharpe James beat Booker in 2002, then retired before the 2006 mayoral race. So CB had a clear, easy path to victory then: https://t.co/mkOgEQYGi3 — PolitiTweet.org

@jonallendc I falsely accused @davidpopp based off the direction the car was headed, toward the Senate. It wasn't him. — PolitiTweet.org

To whichever friend yelled "Harper sucks" at 9:40 am from your white SUV, near DNC, update: @bryceharper3 is 5 for his last 10, with 1 HR, 2 doubles, 4 RBI, 3 BB, 0 Ks. Currently .251/.365/.467, probably better than last year's .214/.365/.468 1st half. Let's talk Labor Day. — PolitiTweet.org

On behalf of Congress & White House press corps, I offer collective amazement that Major League Baseball built an All-Star voting system modeled on US politics. You, @MLB, might be only org in world saying, "Let's vote the way they vote!!" https://t.co/WldexHOpas — PolitiTweet.org

PSA - ESPN, noting 25-year anniversary of Brentwood murders, is re-airing this 5-part mega-documentary. If you think you know everything about OJ, Nicole & the saga, you don't. This series captures the 1990s better than any other work of art. Race, sex, crime, cops. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow, I knew she raised a ton of $$$ post-kavqanaugh vote, but Heitkamp is still sitting on more than $6m in leftover campaign cash. Looks as if she raised more than $14 million in final month of 2018 race. https://t.co/bh0xLMQXA1 — PolitiTweet.org

@PeterHamby This stuff is awesome, man. That SC one would likely be 1984, when Reagan ran for re-elect, Thurmond was on ballot and Campbell ran last House race before running for Gov two years later. — PolitiTweet.org

@BresPolitico How competitive is Mike Trout? Leading 6-0 with 2 outs, top of 9th, he gets called out on strikes in a non-impactful at bat. He forcefully but politely talks to the ump, wanting to know where he called the strike & why. Calmly walked away, storing that info for another AB. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@BresPolitico Pretty cool. Based on interleague schedule the only way he ever plays in StL is in a World Series, right? Which isn’t happening. Philly fans gave Utley ovations last year as a Dodger at his last game at Citizens Bank. — PolitiTweet.org

@edokeefe @daveweigel @DaviSusan & I observed similar things in Columbia. But it was first time for each of us on 2020 road trip. We didn’t even know what restaurant to hit after the fish fry. So I waited for Dave to write this for my confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing's worse than being that guy who shows up at his/her 1st presidential field thing (as I did in SC for Fish Fry) & starts telling people what is happening. That's why we have the King of the Trail, @daveweigel, to make the really smart observations. — PolitiTweet.org

So @daveweigel nails something I was thinking: "... there has been a palpable decline in the patience of Democratic activists who are asked to meet with, or sit through speeches by, people they have never heard of." https://t.co/p9a8LbWSby — PolitiTweet.org

Missed this @JonathanTamari @JuliaTerruso gem from a couple days ago, but saw it A1 in today's @PhillyInquirer -- outlining how Trump won PA in '16 (w/ Obama-Trump voters in rural counties) & how difficult that will be to repeat in '20. https://t.co/3bKpHsagHE — PolitiTweet.org

@HotlineJosh @KevinMaddenDC Think you're also seeing some impact from signing so late & basically skipping spring training. Zim tried that for Nats last year, batted .184 1st month, then got hurt. Machado, who also signed late & missed 1/2 spring training, had worse start than Bryce, just now getting hot. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@HotlineJosh This is one weird goofy voting system. So did Rendon make it to this “lightning round”? — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@brianros1 The Nats similar free fall in May - an 8-20 run - could’ve been 12-16 with just an average bullpen. If bullpens can’t keep you in those games, then you’re free fall will be so bad it effectively ends the season. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@brianros1 It’s impossible to overstate importance of bullpens in today’s MLB. Hitting slumps are gonna happen. They just are. But a good bullpen keeps you in some games & you scratch out a few wins. We are 6-16 in last 22. With a good bullpen we’d be 9-13 or 10-12. — PolitiTweet.org

@mikememoli Great pull, great memory! And Biden campaigned for Specter, against Sestak in 2010. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@caitleg to be clear, he's no business running. That's my point. I just watched 21 of the 2020 candidates at Fish Fry, it's just jarring. But that creates more candidates, because a guy like Sestak sees Swalwell/Ryan/Gabbard/Bennet/Yang, etc, running, so, why not. — PolitiTweet.org

A really smart, thorough look at Biden's weekend in SC, explaining he has a reservoir of good will with black voters there. But it's not as deep as he thinks: "It was conveyed to him today that you can’t take folks for granted." Via @CleveWootson https://t.co/w0MRhEPFNR — PolitiTweet.org

This is nuts. But this is what the massive field does, self breeds more candidates. A 3-star admiral who served on Clinton’s NSC, Sestak’s bio is more impressive than 6-8 candidates in this race. — PolitiTweet.org
