If only Democrats were as pro-labor as Conor Lamb, they'd easily win back Obama voters in the WWC. Lamb isn't a progressive but much like Joe Biden is a good match for the WWC anyway. 

They are. The difference is they don't focus their campaigns on unions and union-friendly economic issues.

They definitely should in these sorts of midwestern/appalachian districts. It's a big mistake not to.

I agree. THB I don't think going more pro-labor in 2020 with say repealing the Taft–Hartley Act will hurt the dems in the suburbs as much as they think. Especially with Trump on the ballot

PA-18 has been cast as a bellwether for the November midterms, and it looks like the bellwether hath spoken.  

The GOP is f***cked.  If they can't win here.....

It's fine. The best part was when he reasserted his commitment to organized labor. He could be a major power player for organized labor in Congress if he stays around.


This.
see what happens when you nominate someone who is a veteran who supports the second amendment and is pro union.

Hopefully this will push a few wavering Republicans into retiring.

I'd put 5 bucks down on Costello retiring as soon as the new map is upheld.

So Hillary did better in OH-12 than in PA-18 (though the rural territory has considerably fewer ancestral Dems)... Could Dems play here, too?

What about in Arizona, where Hillary did a bit worse than in PA-18?

I think OH-12 really has some interesting potential because Dems could potentially drive up numbers tih the base in Cleveland and Mansfield while holding GOP margins down in the Delaware and Muskegon.

Arizona seems like a stretch but the candidate isn't great.

Honestly, other than staying resolutely pro-gun, and the personality politics basis of stating he'll not support Nancy Pelosi, how is he any more "centerist" than a typical Democrat?

Gina Cerilli, this is your time.



Still, Saccone narrowly lost a +20 Trump district, and the new PA-14 is +26. It would take a miracle for Cerilli, though I guess many said the same thing about Lamb.

He isn’t getting a 10 million dollar outside money boost, or trips from Trump, Pence, and Ivanka this time.
