Im going to have to agree with keystonePhil (believe it or not) when he says that Schwartz will never be senator.
Thank you. She'd be good for raising money but the GOP will be able to raise a good amount of money against her. Other than fundraising, she'd be a total disaster for the Dems which means I can't wait until you guys nominate her.
Haha, phil. I'll do everything in my power to ensure that Schwartz doesn't win that nomination. As of this moment, i'm endorsing MY representive, Tim Holden, for the spot, despite his many conservative views.
Now there's a PA Democrat that I wouldn't mind to see as Senator. Sure I'd support Toomey or another conservative Republican in 2010 but Holden would be ok in my book. However, I really don't see him running for the seat.
Yeah, you're probably right. It's a shame too because he could untie both parties because he has bi-partisan support.
Holden??? NO WAY IN HELL!!! Sure, he'd win, but he is pretty much a Republican-lite. I'd rather take my chances with Schwartz.
C'mon, he's not THAT bad. Besides, like I said, at least it would representing most of the views of PA by being a conservative Democrat. And as far as im concerened, i'd like to take that senate seat now, even if it is Holden, in hopes that we can keep until the next election for senate when we can put up someone better. That way, we have incumbent advantage.
I think Schwartz would have a chance to win in 2010, but if Specter resigns, I'd bet that Rendell would give the seat to Hafer who will run on her own. As far as Holden, I'd love to see him run, but there's no reason he should leave a safe House seat that is almost certain to flip to the GOP if he resigns for a shot at a Senate seat.
That would be really good. I'd like to see Hafer in the senate. I don't know if its possible, but i think it would more fair for Rendell to hold a special election, i know that it wouldn't happen whether he could or not, but the way i see it, like it or not (which i dont), the people of PA elected a republican to the senate. I dont think its fair for Rendell to just say, "Well, you voted in a Rep., but too bad, you're now represented by a Dem." That is simply not fair to the people.
