Melissa Hart out, endorses Barletta. It seems like the movement to stop Mastriano is uniting behind Barletta, but it may be too late.




The PA GOP is only better at campaigns than 45 state Democratic parties, which is sh**t for a GOP affiliate. Barletta is possibly the only candidate worse than Mastriano.

I wish politicians weren't so dumb about political cycles and picking their moments.

Prior to 2018, Barletta's record was that of nearly unseating a multi-decade incumbent in a Kerry district that included both Wilkes-Barre and Scranton as a Dem vote sink in NE PA, in 2008. Then actually taking the seat in 2010.

He has a long history of support with working class white voters and even considering realignments, these are still massively important in Pennsylvania.

Entirely random but I don’t think it was brought up

Mastriano confederate flag supporting is ridiculous, but even more so that he is literally the state senator for GETTYSBURG



As someone who lives in south-central PA, I can assure you, there have always been a lot more Confederate flags around here than you would expect. More around like 2015 when the anti-Obama hate was at its most extreme, but you still see a fair number of them.

South Central PA also tended to have a lot of a Copperhead sentiment back in the Civil War and afterwards and its population was more Southern oriented.

Where such would be really depressing, would be in the Northern Part of the state.

Brings back memories of "Vote Kerry/Specter" in 2004, which was pushed by some Philly unions IIRC.
