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

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

We need to see 1 poll from this State

[Hindsight was 2020]

I know as a more liberal site then not we mostly going to be talking about the dem primary but is there really no reps of note running or rumored of running?

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

I’ve heard Reschenthaler has been rumored to run, but I haven’t heard anything about him recently.

i think it's a still early in declaring a campaign but i also feel all the gop reps are bad statewide fits. I expect a prominent business exec/fire brand state legislator to take the gop nomination

I’ve heard Reschenthaler has been rumored to run, but I haven’t heard anything about him recently.

Him being the GOP nominee would probably be the best case scenario for the Dems.

Why would Reschenthaler be so bad? Mastriano would probably be even weaker lol.

I disagree. Out of all the potential candidates, he scares me the most. Sure, he's a bit bland and uninspiring, but he's a hardline Trumpist, he's young, he's from western PA so he has that working class appeal, he's a veteran...but it all depends on whether or not the Trumpists will turn out for him without DJT on the ballot. He has the highest ceiling imo.

Yeah but he also voted against the stimulus checks which is something he can get hammered on

Every Republican voted against the stimulus checks. It's not like his position was unique or extreme amongst Republicans. And even though the law was widely publicly popular, people are going to fall for the "Joe Biden's evil communist handout to his liberal socialist buddies" bit (see: people supporting the Affordable Care Act but hating Obamacare)

[RogueBeaver]

Lamb is likely to run.

[Matty]

Lamb would be a lethal candidate.

[Roll Roons]

If he can get through the primary, he'll be formidable. Much stronger than Fetterman.

[Lognog]

Lamb is likely to run.

His district lost some of the most population out of any. he could easily find himself in a Trump +15 district in a GOP year.

He may have no choice but to go statewide. Honestly, he may even want to join Shapiro's ticket as LG or run for senate and if he loses, hope to be the next AG by appointment

[Mexican Wolf]

Given how many candidates have jumped into or are going to jump into the Dem Senate primary, I really wish PA has ranked-choice voting because I'd rather not have the eventual nominee win with as low as 30% of the overall vote (and it'd be interesting to see how the votes would be redistributed in the subsequent rounds).

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

At least he can win the GE, but we’ve gotta make sure we get an ironclad public commitment from him to support nuking the filibuster prior to the primary.  Otherwise, we’re better off rolling the dice with Kenyatta.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Lamb is likely to run.

Fetterman is gonna win, even with Lamb entry

[Kung Fu Kenny]

Lamb is likely to run.

Fffffffuuuuuuddddddggggeeeeee

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's likely D takeover along with WI anyways so any of the 3 candidates will win, Fetterman, Lamb or Keyanetta

WI, PA, GA and NH are Lean D, and Hassen isn't DOA unless a PPP or Change Research has her losing and we have none

[Progressive Pessimist]

I didn't think Lamb was going to jump in once Fetterman made his move, but I guess he's worried about what's going to happen to his district. It's understandable.

But anyway, I like all three of Fetterman, Kenyatta, and Lamb. I don't know who would do the best among the three, but I won't complain if any of them are nominated.

[Roll Roons]

>tfw non-zero possibility of Lamb joining Sinema and Manchin

I doubt it. There's a huge difference between being from a Biden state and being from the second most pro-Trump state in the country. Plus, wouldn't you rather have Senator Conor Lamb than Senator Sean Parnell or Doug Mastriano?

Yeah, but Sinema's from a Biden state and in a lot of ways she's worse than Manchin. Lamb would probably be fine, and I'd probably vote for him (if I were a Pennsylvanian – luckily Georgia won't have this problem) but I hope he loses the primary all the same.

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

Conventional wisdom would suggest that this is very good news for Kenyatta, no? Fetterman needed to do well in the western part of the state, but this is Lamb's geographic base as well and so they'll presumably split the vote there while Kenyatta runs up margins in the Philadelphia area.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I don't know a damn thing about PA politics, so would Fitzpatrick be a good nominee for the GOP there?

Yes, but he’s probably too liberal to win a primary.

Damn it, Toomey, damn you! Costing us a seat.

Biden have everyone 1400 stimulus checks and more maybr on the way, Biden is he on a resurrect to he 306 FREIWAL with popular programs
