@KarenKetchaver @KevinMKruse If you subscribe to the New Yorker, you can almost grab anything at random from the 1940s and 1950s. — PolitiTweet.org

@old_moe This Liebling quote is from a Wayward Press piece that he wrote for the New Yorker on the exhaustive press coverage of the 1948 conventions. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
The great A.J. Liebling anticipated the tenor of tonight's breathless SOTU coverage before Biden speaks. Liebling wrote in 1948 about the great "newspaper tradition [of] devoting labored attention to insignificant details of important events." — PolitiTweet.org

A strong case can be made that presidential approval ratings, these days, have much more to do with the sour mood in the country since Covid and intense partisanship that colors everything. — PolitiTweet.org

As a public service, I will not be offering a pre-buttal on the SOTU, hosting a podcast nor offering lengthy commentary on the cosmic meaning of guests in the balcony. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Smartest piece I have read recently on the strengths and limitations of SOTU. Kudos to @julia_azari. Though I will confess, I do enjoy a good shout-out to Grover Cleveland. https://t.co/feo6jBAsnJ — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@julia_azari Really liked your SOTU piece. I will promote it in a little bit on Twitter — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@julia_azari I will. I recognize that this remains a rare platform for a president. But what I was mostly referring to were silly things like Kevin McCarthy’s prebuttal. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
Just my annual reminder that all the frenzied messaging tonight and elaborately crafted partisan responses are unlike to change a single vote in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

A small journalistic quibble amid the horrors of the earthquake: The Times keeps upping the death toll in its online headline. Amid the chaos, no one knows how have died in the tragedy. So why not say "thousands" in the headline and abandon the fake precision? — PolitiTweet.org

I wonder what percentage of invitees decline an invitation to the SOTU. Think of what all that standing and sitting does to your knees. And being endlessly held in place for security reasons. From that perspective, being a guest in the balcony does not seem that alluring. — PolitiTweet.org

David Stockman, Reagan's OMB director, was convinced in 1981 that there would be a political uproar when the national debt hit $1 trillion. Suffice it to say that Stockman was wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

An appeal to Biden: Don't forget Ukraine in the SOTU. As I write in @newrepublic, Biden must take the time to lay out the stakes if Putin gets away with seizing chunks of Ukraine. With support for the war flagging, making this case in prime time is vital. https://t.co/pRNGy6asgx — PolitiTweet.org

@NewHampJournal I have endlessly defended NH. In this case, I was trying to make a point about the folly of the DNC’s calendar, even if NH didn’t move up. There is a limit to what you can write in 280 characters. — PolitiTweet.org

@JulieBG54 In writing semi-jokes on Twitter, I confess to being totally ignorant about what was keeping the Chinese balloon up. Though after the Hindenburg, I assume it wasn't hydrogen. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I predict that the Chinese balloon will be denounced more than three dozen times in prime time during the 2024 GOP convention, no matter who is the nominee. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
I can’t wait for the frenzied House hearings about Balloon-gate and the Attack of Chinese Helium. — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
@Betsy_Cazden Much of this is about Biden's fear of some challenger getting traction in the NH primary. So there is a kabuki quality to the whole thing that will drag on until the fall at the earliest — PolitiTweet.org
Walter Shapiro @MrWalterShapiro
DNC hasn't solved a looming problem. If GA doesn't move its date (and there is no reason why the GA GOP should accommodate the Democrats), then there would be no delegate contests between NH/NV on February 6 and MI on the 27th. That would elevate the importance of NH and NV. — PolitiTweet.org
