PA-SN 2022 megathread: Shrek vs. The Wizard of Oz

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I am starting to worry about our Senate races, since Covid is going up, it's a midterm, they aren't voting Biden out, they are voting D's out, if Biden doesn't get this Covid resolved next yr, our House Majority will be wiped out

Hassan and WARNOCK maybe voted out

Fetterman Get's an Endorsment.

Wow, that's...bizarre.

Certainly an unexpected twist in this saga, that's for sure.

"Where he belongs!"

Fetterman is very similar to Bob Casey that's why he is being endorsed, Keyenatta isn't a national Afro American like WARNOCK is and neither is Beasley

I don't understand the dislike for Fetterman

[Alben Barkley]

The Braddock man John Fetterman confronted with a shotgun in 2013 says that should not stymie his Senate bid

“Even with everything I said, it is inhumane to believe one mistake should define a man’s life,” Miyares wrote in one of two letters sent to The Inquirer. “I hope he gets to be a Senator.” (That last line was underlined three times.)

Unexpected endorsement but OK.

So the guy alleges that Fetterman “lied about everything”, that Fetterman did know his race when he pulled the gun on him, and that “telling the truth now would probably hurt”, and yet wants Fetterman to be a Senator?

Wut?

Why would you want someone you are alleging is a liar to be in public office?

He probably thinks all politicians are liars anyway but likes Fetterman’s policies and doesn’t want this to be used against him by Republicans. Also the thing about not wanting “one mistake” to ruin someone’s life makes sense coming from a convict.

I mean he basically says it himself:

“Mr. Fetterman and his family have done far more good than that one bad act or action and, as such, should not be defined by it.”

I wonder what Fetterman/his allies offered him.  I mean, the dude was presumably bought off somehow.

Fetterman does sit on the Board of Pardons...

Ok yeah that's seems like a huge conflict of interestes, he needs to recuse himself from that like asap.

Relax, I was joking. This guy isn't up for a pardon anyway, and I doubt he ever will be.

Good. Even though I think he would probably do the best in Philly between Kenyatta/Street/Boyle, he just strikes me as too bland for a statewide race. I like where we're at with progressive candidates for now so I'm just hoping for more moderates to jump in and fracture that vote to make way for Kenyatta or Fetterman.

Madeleine Dean is going to be the congressperson from the PA Dem delegation to hop into the Senate race. She'll have solid establishment backing and strong support financially from EMILYs LIST.

[S019]

Do you have a source or is this a scoop? Not that it's unexpected, and tbh I'd support her if she ran, I am not that happy with the current choices, though I'm leaning Arkoosh atm, but I'd be for Dean, if she jumped in.

[Alben Barkley]

If they were gonna buy him off it doesn't make much sense that he'd still claim Fetterman is lying about what happened. You'd expect he would instead "admit" Fetterman's story is true.

Would Arkoosh drop down to PA-04 if Dean got in?

idk, but it makes quite a lot of sense imo, especially since the SEPA vote is already quite divided.

[Roll Roons]

Is Dean actually a good candidate? Pretty sure she underperformed Biden by several points.

She's from SEPA and that is where this race will be decided in the general. It is the base of Democratic votes in the state, so having someone from there is undoubtedly a plus, due to Pennsylvania's abnormal voting patterns based on geography.

[Morning in Atlas]

Good. Dean is no Fetterman or Kenyatta, but she seems fine.

Lamb is the real enemy in the primary.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Epic first post M8

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Too many people in the race, Fetterman is gonna win based on splitting the vote in Philly

This is the Marquee race of this Election, if D's lose this race it's over, but in a 3.5 D they wont
