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

[free my dawg]

I really hope that people here don't dismiss this as "Who Cares?" and "Nothingburger". There are a lot of things that can be overlooked, but domestic abuse is not one of them.

I think it's absolutely disqualifying, but I doubt enough Pennsylvania voters feel the same way.

lmao like clockwork

Could have a rare Roy Moore effect in the GOP primary and voters will reject him if these stories gain traction. Bartos likely wins the nomination in that case, but he's insanely boring and he's also publicly said Fetterman is a good guy, which will be awkward if he faces him in the general.

Isn't someone with some political experience going to run?

Who knows at this point, the whole primary is a sh**tshow

Even in the massive red wave year of 2010, Toomey only won by 2 points. Parnell really could blow this even as the GOP simultaneously flips one or more of AZ, GA, NV and NH.

How did none of this come out during Parnell's Congressional run?

Anyway, if Parnell is the nominee, this race is likely D. People in this thread seem to think that PA is like Alabama, which I assure you is not the case. PA Rs need to stem the bleeding with voters in the Philly suburbs, and Parnell would be absolutely toxic to suburbanites.

Honestly the fact that Lamb didn't make this an issue is the biggest red flag against his supposed electability.

Candidate quality matters little in this day and age. Republicans will vote for republicans, and democrats will vote for democrats. And democrats won’t turn out at the same rate as republicans in a Biden midterm, and that includes in those Philly suburbs that you mentioned.

Lean R, Parnell +2 or 3.

Sean Parnell's military thriller, Man of War features graphic violence against women.

Sean Parnell’s military thriller “Man of War” contains graphic scenes of violence against female characters, raising additional questions about his attitude toward women in the wake of court testimony that he physically and verbally abused his estranged wife.

Parnell, who has emerged as the frontrunner in the Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary, portrays multiple scenes of men assaulting women in the 2018 novel, the first of four in a fiction series written by the Army combat veteran.

 This guy aint right. Wonder how slow it will be for republicans to a strange hymn.. Creepy sex offender Politicians are not unique to republicans versus democrats, but at least we the vast majority of time or you've time work to give rid of our people discovered to be bastard's, comma George republicans continue to fiercely defend and even idolized theirs against all accusations and is accusations and evidence.

I believe all of this has come out because of a court fight. Parnell wanted all this info to be locked up tight in court documents, but he lost that battle so that's why it's all coming out. So I think when that race was going on, all records on this issue were sealed.

"This won't change the fact that he is going to be the next Senator from Pennsylvania."

-SnowLabrador, probably soon.

Don’t you see? Obviously his wife is a paid political actor who went undercover marrying him to throw dirt in him!

there are lots of lies in a divorce procedures to try to have the most favorable decision possible.
So the accusation comes at a suspicious time. if it was true, it had to be said before.

Nothingburgers like this are how the alleged abuse will become politically defused. Nobody open to voting Parnell is going to care that he wrote an edgy (and quite possibly tasteless) book.

Given Pennsylvania Democrat's (relative) strength this year given the national environment, this race is probably going to be one of the most expensive and marquee races next year.

What was the result in that state Supreme Court race? Just looking for anything to hold onto that maybe the swing won't be uniform in 2022.

The Republican won with 51% of the vote, which on par with Virginia and New Jersey isn't too bad for the Democrats.

Still a tiny bit to count, but right now:

PA Supreme Court (R+1.26)
Brobson (R) 50.63%
McLaughlin (D) 49.37%

PA Judge of Superior Court (R+7.62)
Sullivan (R) 53.81%
Lane (D) 46.19%

PA Judge of Commonwealth (R+3.48)
R candidates 51.74%
D candidates 48.26%

So yeah, given the circumstances, not bad, especially with one of the Ds winning the top-2 Judge of Commonwealth race.

Turnout will be around 2.75M, which is the highest in a while for an off-off year.

The last time there was a Supreme Court race in PA was 2017, and the R won by 5%, and that was with Trump as president.

Not surprised to see Conor Lamchin go along with Pelosi's Betrayal.

[Lambsbread]

He's certainly scared because Fetterman has gotten a lot of support from establishment Dems in PA and has coalesced a lot of support from the progressive and moderate wings of the party.

On top of Fetterman's massive fundraising haul, I have to think Lamb's internals show Fetterman still ahead by a lot for him to take this route.
