Wow, we've had some awful Senators in the last 50 years. Fetterman and Casey it is.

Decent lot, but went with Casey/Fetterman.

Ofc if this Gaza thing holds on even longer, I'll have to switch to Schweiker.

My breakdown:
Heinz, Schweiker & Spector were modreate republicans (although the later was a moderate dem during his last years). Toomey & Santorum were conservatives and I don't know enough about Scott to make a judgment call off the top of my head.

Wofford was a liberal, one of the most liberal senators in PA history, if not the most. Casey entered the senate as a moderate, but seems to have switched to a party-line position on issues including abortion & gun control. Fetterman is quite progressive, but has a surprising pragmatic/maverick streak and doesn't seem fond of culture war issues.

Wofford and Casey.

Was a big Fetterman fan until he lost his mind. And not strictly on the political aspect either.

Scott was a moderate republican.
So 4/9. Quite a run.
Maybe Fitzpatrick is the next.

I highly doubt it. As suburban Philly turns away from the GOP, its electorate has looked a lot more like what one would expect out of a Midwestern or Appalachian state. There would have to be a major scandal or realignment for Fitzpatrick to have a chance in the primary.

Wofford is a star of one of the best TCT mods (End of History 1996).
