PA GOV 2022: Stick a fork in it

[OSR stands with Israel]

Mastriano is basically running his campaign using the same insane sh*tposting memes that your crazy aunt posts to Facebook

I'd vote for Shapiro if I lived in PA, but Cuomo and Murphy literally did do that.

If you don't mind me asking, how would you vote in the Senate race?

Probably Oz. Don't love him, but at least he's not insane like Mastriano.

I see. So your general 2022 philosophy is to vote R in the GE except for the ones who are too Trumpy/Crazy?

I do wonder how many folks with simillar 2022 mindsets there are out there. As someone pointed out in another thread, at least among the politically engaged, there does seem to be somewhat of this sneitment among moderates or R leaning voters.

Its also easier to be more partisan in Senate Races than Gubernatorial races

If Trump were still President, Shapiro would be on track to winning by a bigger margin than Wolf did in 2018.

Indeed. Fetterman would also be on track to win by a bigger margin than Casey in 2018, and Shamaine Daniels would have a chance to be elected a congresswoman.

2020 was a poisoned chalice for the GOP. Hell, the Dems gaining a trifecta might have been the ideal outcome for them. A Trump six year itch midterm, especially if Dobbs still happened in June 2022, would make 2006 look like 1998.

Toomey would not have retired though

IIRC, he announced his retirement in October 2020.
