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

[😥]

I just hope that Cartwright jumps in, but now I'm fully support Fetterman

[😥]

I know, I know, the comparisons are played out. But Georgia just elected a black pastor and a Jewish millennial and we're still doing the whole "Kenyatta is unelectable because he's gay and black" spiel. Give me a break.

One moment: Georgia isn't Pennsylvania

Wow really, I'd never considered that before.

Look, does anyone here have an actual reason why Fetterman is supposedly so much more electable than Kenyatta other than the fact he happens to fit our stereotype of what a white working class voter happens to look like? I can understand this argument with someone like Cartwright, who has actually had electoral overperformance in federal races before, but Fetterman's only won races in a heavily Democratic city and a crowded primary for lieutenant governor where he was the only Western Pennsylvania candidate running.

If you view swing voters in Pennsylvania as all racists and homophobes who won't vote for Kenyatta because he's a scary gay black man, then just be up front and say that. Both Kenyatta and Fetterman seem absolutely fine on policy and I'd be happy to run with either, but y'all need to actually base your arguments against Kenyatta on something more tangible than an imaginary aura of electability that Fetterman has.

I didn't say that Fetterman is much more electable and I didn't say that this race isn't winnable for certain kind of Democrat. It is just your can't make main argument about Kenyatta's electability like "He is electable because Warnock win in Georgia". It is the same as "He isn't electable because Gillum lost in Florida"

I doubt he's running, but still:

Parnell’s odds absolutely tanked on predict it in the last 24 hours. Is that bc of Dr Oz? Or did more revelations about his domestic abuse come out?

That seems pretty typical when custody is contested though. Is that viewed as so consequential?

I think Parnell said at some point that if he lost custody of his kids he’d drop out.

I believe he won't do so. And, honestly, I don't want him to drop out, because I believe he would be an underdog in general election and would lose in the end

[😥]

As you can see three posts earlier I was confident Parnell would stay in the race. I was wrong. And I'm very surprised by his decision

Yeah, I doubt Fetterman would be the best GE candidate. In my opinion, all, Lamb, Kenyatta and Arkoosh, are more likely to win in GE

We now have Lamb's brother attacking one of PA's premier labor economists, and someone who has been instrumental in the nationwide fight to raise the minimum wage.

Occasionally, the mask slips. My apologies to Manchin - at least him and his thugs don't regularly attack labor economists as political hacks.

Maybe he had a moral right to write this because of a dirty, lying attack on his brother, didn't you think about it?
