PA Gubernatorial Race 2006

Stop putting words in my mouth you imbecile. I merely stated the Democrats did very well in the Lehigh Valley this past election. That can't be refuted.

Not really. Except for Kerry winning, the GOP pretty much won everything else competitive. Dent won here, Specter won here, and the special elections for the vacant Senate and House seats went our way.

It is a tossup area and more a matter of quality of candidate running and campaign dollars, not ideology.   

Uh, if that was the case, Karen Beyer and Pat Browne would not have won. They were not "high quality" candidates. This area is not a tossup, hack.

Now let's see.... Should we go by the Presidential/Congressional races or the county whatever races that produced a turnout of about six voters?

Those six are likely voters.

Montco County Commissioner Jim Matthews, brother of Chris Matthews, is running for the Lt. Gubernatorial nomination for the GOP  -  http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/113-11232005-574363.html

Interesting news especially for Castor since he left open the idea of running for Lt. Gov. with Swann. I guess this is a sign that that won't be happening.

[Yates]

It seems that Swann is the strongest challenger to Rendell.  In a Rendell vs. Swann race, I would predict a Rendell win of, roughly, 5.5%, though Swann could win with some hard work and an organized campaign network.

Thank you, CheeseWhiz.  I look forward to working with you during my time there.

Another candidate for Lt. Governor - State Rep. Mike Turzai - http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05334/614523.stm


I'm now at the point where I don't want State Senator John Pippy to get into this race because it will be too hard to decide who I should vote for (considering what I know now).

In related news, Jim Paynard, Republican candidate for Governor, endorsed Turzai's candidacy.

Can't stand Turzai.  I might write in a candidate if it were between him and senile Baker-Knoll.

Turzai is a Republican.

I know, but I would consider a liberal Republican if Baker Knoll is the nominee.

Maybe you don't know but we vote for tickets in the general election. You can't vote for Lt. Gov seperately.

sh**t that's right.  Oh well, I guess I have to hold nose.  Hope Eddie drops her like a bad habit.

He won't (atleast not publicly).

Unfortunately. This is a race where I may have to just go with a third party candidate because the rest of the candidates will be so wrong for the state that holding my nose is not even an option.

I know someone that used to work for her and have good reasons why I wouldn't vote for her.  She is a DINO, plain and simple.  If only we can split that ticket.  Hell, I'd vote Bill Scranton for Lt. Governor over her.

Matthews makes it official - http://www.pennlive.com/newslogs/patriotnews/index.ssf?/mtlogs/penn_patriotnews/archives/2005_12.html#098314


and another candidate for Lt. Governor - Greg Sahd


From a Sahd release:

On Dec. 1 before nearly 200 Lancaster County Republicans, former county treasurer Greg Sahd announced that he will be seeking the Republican nomination for Lt. Governor in 2006.

[Keystone Phil]

Rendell approval up a bit, disapproval down. He's leading all Republican challengers by double digits. Swann leads GOP primary field.

Other news - Pippy will not run for Lt. Governor.

I'm undecided in the race for Lt. Governor. Pippy's decision to stay out helps a lot. I'm leaning towards Matthews and one of the reasons why is because I've been reminded that Turzai endorsed Scranton.

[Keystone Phil]

I just received an e-mail from the Swann campaign. He said that he will "embark on a historic journey to change Pennsylvania" on January 4th. Seems that that's an obvious announcement of candidacy date.

No, it sounds like he's going to convert to Islam and complete the Hajj.

Anyways, December has been a dull month for this race...

[Keystone Phil]

According to the Northeast Times (NE Philly paper), the first GOP primary debate will be on January 25th. Piccola and Swann have already agreed to attend the debate. The State Committee's endorsement vote (A big deal here) will be held on February 11th.
