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

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Shapiro for Senate, Fetterman for Governor!

How about Wolf for Senate and Fetterman for gov.?

Wolf isn't really interested in higher office. He will be over 70.

John Hickenlooper is 68.

From what I understand, Fetterman's one of the strongest possible candidates, if not the strongest, for the Democrats. Hopefully he doesn't face Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick will not win. He is far too liberal to win a Republican Primary. Also, Democrats could pick up his house seat.

Fetterman or Cartright pls.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

for all the Fetterman fans, explain the thought process of somebody who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but is likley to support Fetterman ?. Preferably without claiming they're low information or #populists.

Magnetic campaigners with daring visions is how you win back disaffected voters.

Besides, didn't Trump lose PA in 2020?

Again he's loved by democrats, how does he win indedeptns and republican suburbanites turned off by trump?(without which Biden would not have won)>

He doesn't need #nevertrump suburban voters if he can win with the Shapiro/Obama coalition

Boring take: Unless Republicans nominate a complete disaster of a candidate, this will quickly turn into a generic R vs. generic D vote, regardless of whether Democrats nominate Lamb, Cartwright, or Fetterman. (1) What’s Biden's approval on election day? (2) How high is R turnout in rural/small-town PA? And there you have your winner. It’s more likely than not that the Democratic candidate for SEN slightly outperforms Biden's approval %, but it won’t be by more than 1-2% (granted, that could be enough in a very close race). Tilt R for now.

No, John Fetterman or Matt Cartwright would do better among the working-class in western or northeastern PA, while Conor Lamb or generic Phili D would do better among educated voters in the Phili suburbs.

Conor Lamb sucks, he is a Neoliberal Douchebag. Big Fetts or Matt Cartwheel would be much better.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Gonna go out on a limb and say a lot of the Cartwright support comes from people who haven't heard the man speak. Great rep, but not exactly bursting with charisma. Fetterman and Kenyatta, particularly Fetterman, would be better options.

Surely - not Kenyatta. Black, gay, from Philadelphia..... Almost any Republican candidate will crush him, and you may get some much worse Senator, then Toomey,

Yeah I’ll say it too, I personally do not object to it ofc, but I objectively think a black gay man with dreadlocks and an african name from Philly wouldnt do too well.

It's not like a little-known black man with a Kenyan father and an African name from Chicago won PA by double digits or anything.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Lamb sucks.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

Why are people writing off Parnell? He did well in the district against a well known and well liken incumbent

Because according to the Atlas hive mind anybody who is a "Trumpist" is a bad candidate who cannot do better than Trump himself.
