So. Would Gina Cerilli have been a better candidate? Or would she not have prevailed without Lamb's Allegheny hometown advantage?
She would have lost this I think, but she can win the new PA-14 now that that river region is included.
A total nightmare for the GOP.
I think Conor Lamb is favored in the new PA-17. He will clean up in the territory from the old PA-17 and PA-18 in the new district. Meanwhile, he is fundraising dynamite ant the national GOP won't have the resources to save Rothfus. The closeness of the race only makes Lamb that much more celebrated.
Meanwhile, Saccone came so very close that he'll be able to clear the field in PA-14. The problem is the new district is missing his home base in Southern Allegheny County... Saccone is such a miserable fundraiser and is so gaffe-prone and already has high negatives. The GOP won't be able to spend $6 million tarring her...
Really hoping Gina Cerilli gets in. Please, please, please. It would still Lean Republican, though.
Dems really need to toss Pelosi. We need a leader that can help us make more inroads into the traditionally Dem areas....
