Wolf vs. Corbett

[IceSpear]

Anyway....

At the Progressive Summit Debate and Straw Poll, the results were as follows...

None of the above .4
Jack Wagner .4
Jo Ellen Litz .4
Allyson Schwartz 9.4
Katie McGinty 10.9
Tom Wolf 22.8
Rob McCord 24
John Hanger 31

Since John Hanger is probably the most liberal Democrat in the primary, this is no surprise. Also, Jo Ellen Litz should do herself a favor and drop-out.

Maybe Wagner should primary Corbett instead.

He would probably have a better chance at that.

Although I was kidding at first, this is probably true. His chances are negligible in both, but there's value in being the sole realistic protest vote to Corbett. I actually think Guzzardi will end up getting in the high 30s or low 40s against Corbett simply by virtue of being the only other choice on the ballot.

I'm sure he will get at least 41% of the vote; alot of Republicans... dislike Corbett.

And I'm sure if Wagner would run in the Republican Primary, or any credible candidate with money, they would win; or at least get close.

Casey Jr. could run for President in 2020 (or 2024 if a Republican wins).

And as IceSpear said, the Dems are intolerant of anyone that disagrees with them on their litmus tests.

Oh, so, like the Reps?

Nah.

Democrats have Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp in their caucus. Meanwhile, people like Pat Roberts and Thad Cochran are facing primaries for being "too moderate". Enough said.

And Dems haven't complained about Manchin? And a major reason why people like Roberts and Cochran are getting challenges is because they have been around for awhile. Limited time in office is obviously a strong point within the GOP.

Whatever the case, the point here is that the conversation these days is almost entirely on the GOP being a litmus test party when the Dems are a far bigger culprit on the issue of abortion. I'm definitely willing to bet a Pro Choicer like Sandoval ends up on a national ticket before someone that's Pro Life ends up on the Dem ticket.

Yes we have; but do we primary him? No.

The only Democrat getting a primary challenge is Schatz, and his is coming from the right.

Ha, precisely.

[free my dawg]

The only Democrat getting a primary challenge is Schatz, and his is coming from the right.

To be fair Tierney's getting challenged from his right too, but politics isn't the reason their challengers entered.

Casey Jr., will get tired of the United States Senate and would want to come home , fulfill his goal following his late father's footsteps as governor.

If Corbett wins, I see Casey Jr going for it in 2018.

Corbett will loose and Casey will be gunning for another office in 2020.

[TX Conservative Dem]

We'll wait and see.

Most recent U.S. Senators to move to the governorship were Brownback (Kansas) in 2010 and Corzine (New Jersey) in 2005.

Again, no.

[henster]

Casey Jr. will be in the Senate until he dies.

[Napoleon]

Casey Jr. Might be done with politics altogether.

[Vega]

Any election Casey Jr. runs in, he has a good chance at winning.

[publicunofficial]

Casey Jr. will run for President in 2020.



As long as we're stating wild predictions as fact, might as well throw my two cents in.

[IceSpear]

He doesn't strike me as having the fire in his belly for a presidential run. I mean, he hardly even campaigned in 2012.

But he still won.

[DemPGH]

I don't see Casey running for President. I don't even know about governor - depends if he has the umph. He doesn't have the personality for a Presidential run or, probably, the network. He's a PA guy and likely to stay that way.

Corbett has actually contributed nothing except for his corporate schemes, which were stymied, often by people on his own side. Oh, and he proposed completely gutting the university system. He has been a true, utter waste of four years. That he is polling in the mid 30th percentile is no shock, but I'd like to see the Democrats' numbers beyond Wolf to be a little higher. But Corbett is in so deep I just don't see him salvaging it.  

[RRusso1982]

The Democrats will never someone who is pro life for President.

[publicunofficial]

I thought the second sentence would make the sarcasm more obvious. Apparently not.
