PA-SN 2022 megathread: Shrek vs. The Wizard of Oz

[RogueBeaver]

Costello will form an exploratory committee soon.

[GALeftist]

Likelihood of both Abbott and Costello winning?

[Lambsbread]

Costello will form an exploratory committee soon.

Cant wait to see him get 10% in the primary and get dunked on by like...Doug Mastriano

I believe you mean Daddy Doug Mastriano

Doug Mastriano is a fascist, he is no Daddy, the real Daddy here is Ryan Costello who took a stand against fascism and voted against the Orange Demagogue, however given he will still vote for Mitch as Majority Leader and thus obstruct Biden's last two years of his first term, I have no choice but to support the Democratic nominee, but let me say that Costello would be among the best Republican senators, if he did win, and if he were in a safe red state like Nebraska, I'd be actively cheering him on in this race.

Costello will form an exploratory committee soon.

While he would make the race harder to win, for the sake of this nation's sanity, I hope the GOP starts nominating more people like him, I'm not willing to make fascism the opposition, just because it's easier to win against fascists. Then, there is the risk of those fascists actually winning.

[Lambsbread]

Yeah Doug Mastriano is a fascist who should be in prison tbh.

[Roll Roons]

Yeah Doug Mastriano is a fascist who should be in prison tbh.

If, god forbid, he runs and gets the nomination, the race will immediately shift from a Tossup to Likely D. He is as weak as Roy Moore (minus the pedophilia), but in a much less red state.

Nothing surprises me anymore but I hope you’re right. Could be shades of Scott Wagner in 2018 but with an even more extreme candidate.

This a niity beat (boing)
Here we go again
Ghettoville u.s.a (uh Oh)
You know I got by the name nitty right (uh huh)

N####z in my face
Damn near er' day
Askin' a million questions like

Tell 'em college park
Where they chop cars
Eat 20 grand spend a grand at the bar
Jest bought a zone jays on my feet
I'm on that patron so get like me
69 cutlass wit the bucket seat
Beat in my trunk bought it just for the freaks
Catch me in the hood posted at the sto
Pistol in my lap on the phone countin dough
If a girl choose let her do her thang
Just like her mamaand I ain't sayin the name brain
Everybody love me I'm so fly
N####z throw the duces er'time I ride by
I know ya wonder why
I'm so cool
Don't ask me just do what cha do (ok)
Meet me in the trap its goin down
Meet me in the mall its goin down
Meet me in the club its goin down
Any where ya meet me guaranteed to go down
Verse number 2 do the damn thing
Keeps on my neck pockets full of Ben Franks
When I'm in the mall hoes just pause
I pop a few tags give me that on the wall
Time to flip the work make the block bump
Boys from the hood call me black Donald Trump
Dope boy magic seven days a week
Number one record long as nitty on the beat
Oh I thank they like me betta yet I know
Lights camera action when I walk through the door
N####z know my crew we certified stars
Ready in the front bout 35 cars

Black beamer coups
Girls like girls time to recruit
If ya got a problem say it to my face
We can knuckle up any time any place
Time to set it off let these n#### know
Have ya every seen a chevy wit the butterfly doors?
I ride real slow no need to speed
Gotta make sure ya see the buckets on my feet
Feds on my trail but they thank I don't know
I keep my hands clean 'cause I never touch dope
Every time I see 'em look 'em in the eye
Ask 'em how I know its me surprise!

Gotta make sure ya see the buckets on my feet
Yung Joc...
Nitty strikes again
This a Nitty beat
Playmaker
So So Def motherf#cker

Fetterman and Shapiro are going to be an amazing duo on the trail in 2022. They both have strengths that help the other out and I think both will benefit from being on the same ticket.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

From what I understand, Fetterman's one of the strongest possible candidates, if not the strongest, for the Democrats. Hopefully he doesn't face Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick will not win. He is far too liberal to win a Republican Primary. Also, Democrats could pick up his house seat.

Not bad, but he should spend it on a ground game rather than ads. The same goes for Democratic Senate candidates and incumbents in other states, too.

[Lambsbread]

We're gonna win this thing.

[wbrocks67]

Wow, all 50 states too. That's really impressive. 63/67 of PA counties too.

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

Go Costello! Costello would be a decent senator

Although I would prefer Fitzpatrick

[swf541]

I hope Doug Mastriano runs for either and then loses horribly in the general, can't stand hearing about him daily anymore.  Seriously the worst state legislature in my local area I've ever had the misfortune of having to hear about.

[MT Treasurer]

Yes, it’s pretty much a given that any D nominee here will vastly outspend whoever the Republicans put up, but we’ve also seen that there are obvious limits as to how far that can get you, especially in what is likely to be a more unfavorable environment for Democrats than 2020. Costello’s not going to win the primary, nor do we need a 'centrist' Republican to hold this seat if the messaging + rhetoric are right/the campaign is conducted competently. Toss-up with any Democrat, but Tilt R for now.

I fail to see how its not a tossup, too many unknowns about 2022 and the state GOP has a history of f-ing up by nominating insane people in winnable races or managing to blow things horribly in otherwise good GOP years

He literally said it's a toss-up.

Toss-up with any Democrat

"Tilt R" means the GOP has a very slight advantage, but still a toss-up.

[swf541]

Ah, not how i'd classify a tossup but fair enough.

[Blair]

Obviously not sure how much is going on behind the scenes (or went on) but it's interesting to see if this freezes the field quickly; you'd expect this to be a seat a lot of democrats want...

[Blair]

I'd also be interested to see how much the election delay helped his exposure

[President Johnson]

I think it's possible state Republicans make a push to force Toomey back in later this year. He would have the best shot at winning. Not sure how much his soft Trump criticism would still be factor.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

We're gonna win this thing.

You’ve jinxed it!
