PA Gubernatorial Race 2006

[Max Power]

WTF?? Is that the best you can do? Attack the governor for being an Eagles fan, and then call everyone who disagrees with you stupid?

And you still didn't answer my question.

He's more than a fan, clown. He spends hours analyzing Eagles games! You don't think the GOP will have fun with that during the campaign?

And your question about Jesus vs. Bob Taft is so ridiculous that it's not getting a response.

Swann also spent hours analyzing games. Will we use that against him?

And why wouldn't you vote for Jesus? I thought you were a Christian?

If Swann was Governor and he did that, I'd support the Dems in using that against him.

I never said I wouldn't vote for him. I'm just not commenting on such a ridiculous scenario.

Luckily for us, you won't have to worry about that.

And so you wouldn't vote for the candidate who didn't want to win more in that race?

Keep thinking that. Throw no money, at all, to Rendell. When he ends of being the Roy Barnes of PA in 2006, I'll laugh even harder at idiots like yourself.

Once again, your situation is so ridiculous that I refuse to comment. Keep asking though. I enjoy when you waste your time.

Idiots? That's not nice. If I were to call you a hack, a looser, a moron, a jackass, a partisan, or a crazy would you like it?

UP with the SE first...since we're essentially subsidizing the rest of the state anyhow...and by we're, I mean the philly burbs.

We aren't struggling in these parts, bullmoose. If we are going to put someone else "up" first, it should be elsewhere.

I disagree. I completely disagree.

What did Rendell do that was non-gubernatorial with regards to Comcast?  He did it off duty!  And yes you would support Swann if he did that- no lie.

So now you'll tell me that I'd support Swann doing what Rendell does? Wrong. Thanks for playing.

I don't care if Rendell did it "off duty." The guy has his mind set on a football team. I see him more on Comcast Sports Net more than I do on the news. He's a complete waste and some Democrats realize it, too. Look at nini. He's an SEPA Dem who works for Allyson Schwartz but doesn't like Rendell and might even vote for Swann over Rendell. Good for him. It's people like nini who will help change this state and make Post Game Live Rendell's full time job!

That's her only semi-decent picture from a few years ago. She looks terrible now. Ever watch her preside over the Senate?

[Keystone Phil]

Congressman Joe Pitts, a known conservative Republican leader in PA, has endorsed Lynn Swann for Governor.

Finally - http://scranton2006.com

[Keystone Phil]

Congressional update!

Supporting Swann -  Pitts, Shuster

Supporting Scranton - English (not surprised by this), Peterson (surprised and very disappointed), Sherwood (surprised and very disappointed)

Supporting Piccola - Haha.

No endorsement yet - Hart, Fitzpatrick, Gerlach, Weldon, Dent, Murphy, Platts

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Does Scranton have a lot of support in Scranton?

[Keystone Phil]

Does Scranton have a lot of support in Scranton?

What do you think? 

That's his base. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised about who Sherwood is siding with (PA 10 is right in Scranton country). I am not surprised by English because he's always annoying me. Peterson...uh...I can't explain that one. He's no where near an area that would be receptive of Scranton. In fact, he's very close to what will be Swann country. Peterson is also conservative which really has me puzzled as to why he is supporting Scranton.

The rest of the delegation should go like this...

Hart - Swann
Fitzpatrick - Stay out*
Gerlach - Stay out*
Weldon - Scranton
Dent - Scranton
Murphy - Swann
Platts - Possibly Piccola. If not, Scranton


* Both Fitz and Gerlach are SE PA Republicans so they don't have much of a territorial loyalty to any candidate in the race. They don't seem close to any candidate even without the geographical politics. I could see Gerlach going with Scranton and Fitz is a tossup (lean Swann).

[Max Power]

Is anybody even taking Piccola seriously?

Is anybody even taking Piccola seriously?

Thankfully, no.

[Jake]

Does Scranton have a lot of support in Scranton?

More than Swann, but certainly not on the level Casey does. Scranton won't be able to use the name to grab votes around here, simply because no one really remembers him that much.

Phil, I was disappointed about Sherwood too .

[Keystone Phil]

Does Scranton have a lot of support in Scranton?

Phil, I was disappointed about Sherwood too .

But we really should have expected it. He's in Scranton territory.

[Keystone Phil]

It's a lot (I didn't get passed three paragraphs) but some might still be interested - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=2159013&type=story

I read the whole thing.  I'm going to reserve judgement on Swann until he actually comes out with a platform.

[Jake]

Very interesting article, which Phil needs to read...immediately.

[Keystone Phil]

Slight advantage to Scranton? Have they seen the polls? If anyone has an advantage, it is Swann.



In early February, 358 Republicans -- representing all 67 of the state's counties -- will gather in Harrisburg to see if they can agree on a candidate to run against incumbent Rendell. Since the Republicans historically go out of their way to build a consensus and avoid a primary, most observers think a singular choice would be binding.


That is what still worries me a bit. I fear that maybe some will stick by someone they know better (Scranton). I hate how the state committee basically decides this stuff but I have a feeling that this will be different. Piccola is done already and will drop out after losing the endorsement but I have a feeling that if Scranton loses to Swann in this vote, he will stay in the race. Swann will probably back out if he loses.
