Pennsylvania Senate Election 2018-Democratic Primary

[Potatoe]

Well, decided to do something like this, Republican Primary will be up in a while.

Senator Bob Casey has had a rough period between 2015-2017, with his Budget proposal flat lining in 2016, his botched DNC Speech, during which he had to run off to go to the bathroom, and almost destroying Joe Sestak's Campaign by not Endorsing him (Sestak won only by 1,000 votes), though things have turned around, with a Tax Cut bill, co sponsored by Freshman Senator Tom Rooney, passing in a landslide along with his Banking Regulations bill getting a narrow pass, yet with President Clinton's approvals dipping after a mild recession in late 2017, and buzz about her Health Care law bolstering Conservative turn out in the Senate Elections, as seen by Senator Terry McAuliffe's (Appointed to fill VP Warner's vacant seat) defeat by former Senator George Allen earlier in the year, 2014 Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Allyson Schwartz (She lost out to Wolf in the final hurdle) has decided to take Casey on, can he survive? Or will he be doomed to a Primary Challenge?

Casey. No reason to primary him. He's not really a DINO.
According to primarycolors, he has a 90 score.

It's Primarily due to his Roe v. Wade position, and that he's slightly moved to the right to get more of a Conservative base.

How?

Like on Tax Reform and the like, but it's mainly due to that he's virulently Pro-Life.

He's not virulently Pro-Life. He voted against defunding Planned Parenthood for example.

You shouldn't just rely on websites like primarycolors to check who is a "DINO" or not. In fact, especially primarycolors. As I recall, it claimed Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Schumer are just peachy fits for CA and NY.

I have no real opinion on this race, because I basically know nothing about Schwartz apart from the fact that she's failing pretty part in the PA primary.

False. Feinstein: 3 could be primaried. And Ii seriously believe they are too hard with her.

This won't happen, and if it did, Casey would sweep. He's basically a perfect fit for the PADP

Meh, I wanted it to be a bit more interesting, and besides, this is for people to have another option besides just Casey.

The ol' case race himself!

Casey enthusiastically

Casey can win statewide, so him.

Schwartz has proven to me that she hasn't got the goods for it. Tom Wolf started the race at 2% in the polls and now he's polling in the 40s and 50s compared to Schwartz who is now in single digits.

He's only polling there because muh profit of cash. He outraised Schwartz and heck, even Corbett and still has plenty of cash left after all those ad buys. Sorry, but if he beats Schwartz, it won't be because he's the best candidate, but because he bought the nomination.

I would easily vote for Schwartz for ideological reasons especially because she doesn't support overturning Roe v. Wade or abolishing funding for embryonic stem cell research like Casey. She holds some good centrist views and aside from her hawkish foreign policy and support of the PATRIOT Act, she's a great progressive for equality for women and gays alike. If Santorum, Kelly or maybe Toomey was nominated, then we would still likely be able to hold the seat, to.

Your posts are literally just Democratic Party talking points.

Schwartz didn't hustle and still isn't hustling the way she needs to. Wolf did. He got out there and told his story. She's now polling behind Rob McCord as well. McCord has been much better than Schwartz and telling his story. I don't know how it is in her native Philly, but in Pittsburgh, she let Wolf pick up the plum endorsements like Bill Peduto (who is a liberal) and the other Pittsburgh bigwigs who could have done so much for her campaign to gain her some name recognition here in the west. She didn't do it. She didn't even seem to bother. Wolf went for it so he will win because he actually is the better candidate. He's worked harder, got his message out there and defined himself to Democratic voters here in the west who don't have a candidate of our own.

How has Schwartz been the best candidate when she's not even done as good a job as Rob McCord (who has moved ahead of her now) or Tom Wolf who had zero name recognition when the race started and is now in the lead?

She's a NSA Democrat, and she pales in contrast to Boxer.

No

She's one of the most conservative Democrats in the senate representing one of the most liberal states in the country

Alright, the poll will be locked within 30 minutes, get voting!

[WillTheMormon]

Casey!

And Feinstein a Conservative?? Anyone who voted against DOMA could never in a million years be defined as a conservative!

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Casey.  He's been harmless mostly.
