I don’t know why, I just can’t bring myself to care as much about this race as I did ga 6 or the Kansas race

Maybe it’s because there will be another election at end of year in this district, maybe because I like Conor lamb and think he is actually pretty centrist or right leaning

I feel confident on Lamb, but this is a tiny bit worrying (and interesting) from a just-published Washington Post article:

So is it true that we're gonna get an exit poll for this? Seems like an awfully small race for that to be the case.

He's definitely left leaning on economics, although fairly center on cultural issues.

He's a good, honest dude that we need more of in politics.

We knew that already, but insiders said newer overnight numbers were bad for Saccone.

I am not able to be here / monitor the thread closely tonight, so I'm not moving LimoLiberal posts for the time being.

If he becomes a problem in any way, let me know and I will put him on mod review for tonight and just let the posts backlog into the abyss.

(so please don't go mad reporting his posts all night)

He's actually been fine so far. But we'll see.

This issue has been talked to death over the past week (re: The Atlas), so let's just focus on the PA election in this thread.

one must know how the enemy thinks.

On another note, I'm working on a state-level democratic campaign in a deep-red district. we've been moving with a very progressive campaign, but this Lamb race is making me think that maybe we need to center a bit more. Doesn't seem like a Bernie kinda guy.

I get that feeling as well, and I am fairly confident it is because there is no scandal or overwhelming pressure forced upon the race. Georgia was the outside dems wanting to send a message. Kansas was Brownback. Montana was Assultforte. Alabama was Moore's diddling. When a scandal or outside controversy seizes control of a special campaign, the race becomes more then D v R. If Moore won then Rs would be seen as supporting pedophilia for example. If ot doesn't though, than it is just a (relatively) sleepy special, like South Carolina, Utah, and now this.

I have followed this race remarkably little because I just assumed it would be a semi-underwhelming but ultimately comfortable win for Saccone.  It's clear that it will be close, though, so I'm just hoping for the best.  Also really waiting for TN SD 14.

It’ll be close, but not a nail biter.

Lamb. All the information we are getting just points to a narrow but comfortable win of maybe 4 or 5 points.

Won't be concern-trolling tonight (or anytime in the future). Might be depressed if Lamb loses, but I certainly recognize that even a close loss signifies a democratic wave.

Pittsburghsteel, assuming the turnout reports are accurate and lamb wins, congratulations!

It definitely feels good when your candidate wins, especially in your own backyard!

You guys are finally getting to enjoy some election victories after last few years of disappointment

It’s a good feeling, isn’t it? Hahaha
