PA-1: Wallace is BDS donor

[KingSweden]

While I don’t think being a BDS supporter is helpful, you also think JVD might lose his primary in NJ because of “muh Eastman,” so forgive us if we ignore your “analysis,” Andrew.

Probably won't hurt him given the corbynization of the Democratic party, they didn't do anything when Danny Davis was discussing "the jewish question" so why would they care now?

Danny Davis is an insane backbencher in a Safe D machine seat.

Jeff Van Drew:

• Moderate-conservative democrat
• Supported by the DCCC, much to the chagrin of activists and the Intercept
• Banking on high name recognition as of now (checked out his facebook page - I couldn't find one campaign event)

Tanzie Youngblood:

• Young, progressive woman
• Specifically making Van Drew's conservative/moderate votes and the DCCC's support of him a campaign
• Appears to have pretty solid enthusiasm on social media

NJ-02: District Trump won narrowly

Now replace Jeff Van Drew, Tanzie Youngblood, and NJ-02 with Brad Ashford, Kara Eastman, and NE-02. Do you get where I'm coming from?

The political dynamics of New Jersey are completely unlike those of Nebraska

It won't matter. If November's electorate is anything like last night's, Fitzpatrick is in deep trouble. He will need to win independent voters by a decent margin in order to defeat Wallace.

Long term, though, having pals of George Galloway in the House from swingy suburban seats is probably not great.

What I really want to know is how Reddick’s people missed all this.

This...is a rather poor characterization. While his foundation did make a donation to New Press for Galloway's speaking tour, that's pretty far removed from 'palling around' with Galloway.

Touching that guy with a ten foot pole is still very poor judgment. To be fair, though, Wallace may not have had political ambitions at the time, but still.

What percentage of voters have any idea who George Galloway is? Most voters in PA-1 have no idea who Theresa May is, much less George Galloway.

That’s a fair point, but it still indicates a lack of judgment

Wallace's response.

A good response
