Santorum for governor?

[Keystone Phil]

Santorum's name has been floated around as a Gubernatorial candidate before. I don't think he'll do it though. If he did, it would certainly be a good race and he could win it.

[Keystone Phil]

it is good ol walter mitty making chicken sounds.

Being the clown that you are, it wouldn't surprise me that you're acting like farm animals.

[Keystone Phil]

you do know there is no way in hell santorum can win the 2008 nomination if he backs down fromt he senate race in 06?

Actually, there is. He would be one of the first candidates in the primary and could gain a good amount of support. Politicos like you and I see it as Santorum not running because of a political threat but your average voter really won't notice or care that much.

his chances are better against casey than rendell.

Thanks for showing that you know very little about PA politics.

MY EDDIE AIN'T GOIN NOWHERE!!! heh ok, but really...he's pretty much a lock for re-election. He is the fundraising king, there's no candidate that could beat him, and most Pennsylvanians think he has done a good job.

He's not a lock. If most Pennsylvanians thought he did such a good job, why are his disapproval numbers up? Why are his approval ratings the lowest?

Walter, Casey is more popular than Rendell. You might not like him but he's the more well liked of the two.

Are you kidding....his dissapproval ratings are hovering around or just below 40 and his approval ratings are above 50....in a state that is so close politically, that is pretty much a lock for re-election.

Casey is more popular then Rendell...but look who he is up against. Rendell will have no serious challenger. Swann is a joke...he's not even favored to win the primary!

No I'm not kidding. His approval ratings are lowest, his disapproval numbers are the highest. That's a fact, dan. Learn to accept them. He's not the extremely popular guy you think he is.

Rendell will have a serious challenger if Swann is the nominee but please, keep thinking the way you're thinking. Keep thinking Rendell is the political idol that he was in 2002. Then you can think of a way to get to his office and help him pack up after he loses.

The problem is, dear Phil, Rendell is an incumbent Governor with a massive base of support and no serious challenger. Swann is *not* serious. Pennsylvania is a state that supports the political establishment....it is not an Arnold state. Swann would lose to Rendell, it wouldn't even be that close. The polls also show that.

Massive base of support? Explain his approval ratings. Explain why if his base is so massive, he didn't beat Fisher by the 20 points everyone was predicting.

Swann is loved out west. Rendell is disliked. Get over it.

So Santorum is a lock for re-election?  He has better numbers than Rendel does.  So...

Nope, he has a much stronger challenger in Casey.

You were one that was saying Hafer could beat Santorum.

Well, I think Hafer could beat Santorum, but Casey is more likely to.  Rendell IS a lock for re-election.  There is no way Santorum or Swann could beat him.

Smash, stop in NE Philly on your Democratic Fantasy World Express.

No way Santorum or Swann could beat him? Are you crazy? This is not Tom Ridge. This is not Bob Casey, Sr. Get that through your head.

Sure SE PA Dems loves Rendell but please, please, please realize there is more to the state than just this area. Rendell is disliked out west (remember when he won out there in 2002?). He might win re-election but you're incredibly foolish if you think Rendell is a lock.

What does that have to do with anything?

Santorum - better numbers than Rendell yet he could be beat by someone like Hafer?

Santorum and Rendell are statistically tied....and obviously Santorum is 200% more vulnerable then Rendell. So, yea.

How is he more vulnerable? Is your hatred for the guy that strong that you can't see that he would have beaten any Democrat besides Casey? And they aren't statistically tied.

I don't hate Santorum at all. Like I said, Santorum is just more vulnerable then Rendell. You could ask every single political observer and they would tell you the same thing. You don't watch PCN enough.

Yes because the political observers are always right.

I could sit down and watch PCN and for whatever reason, they'll ignore Rendell's approval/disapproval numbers. Why? Why won't you guys look at that? Get out of your dream world. The polls prove Rendell has a lower approval rating. The polls prove he has higher disapproval ratings. Get over it.

No, but they know a helluva lot more then you. They've seen the same polls you have, and they agree with me. Get over it.

They agree with you. Awesome. Tell me, will Pennsylvanians agree? Will Rendell break 60%? If you believe this, you're a fool.

lol...so you lose an argument then try to create another out of thin air. Not gonna take the bait.

You won't admit that he's not the popular guy you make him out to be.

Unless he's running against Piccola or Scranton, Rendell couldn't win by more than 4 or 5 points. Remember that.
