He’s wasted as lt. governor

I wanna fetterman v don jr for senate so he can give him a swirlie during the debate

i feel like him just existing has kept wolf from being the full succ elemental you would expect from the former mayor of york. gave him some spine so we got redistricting and septa projects

i wonder if fetterman has gotten shapiro really high. he looks like a huge nerd so i imagine he just would have gotten completely wasted from it

Wolf was never mayor of York, he's from York but this is his first elected office. He owned (still owns?) a kitchen cabinet company. And don't forget Fetterman is new, for his first term we had lt. governor mike stack who i dont actually know much about other then him and his wife are assholes.


Yes probably, BUT

Shapiro, who is very popular and very succ, is almost surely going to make run at governor and Fetterman for senate means that there will be something on the ballot for everyone and that combination is probably the best chance PA has to not get crushed in 2022: Revenge of the Chuds

huh idk why i thought he was mayor. i think i saw people complaining about the york pd when he was running and just assumed.

lol that the pa dems were so devastated during the corbett years that we had to run some rando against the least liked man in the state

looking at the layout of the pa dem party

probably

i imagine his competitors will be ghouls like nutter or maybe even kenny. i imagine shapiro and wolf have already let him know they ain’t running and shapiro will go for gov

who knows tho. maybe well get some good smaller local pols

Did he jump the line over some other, more well-connected candidate who thinks it's their turn? Because if so, the media will bury him with that story.

him, the governor, and the ag pretty much are running the show and the ag is likely going for gov

the only thing who can stop him is a good gop challenger and they all have massive brainworm problems after last year

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.inquirer.com/politics/election/joe-gale-2022-pennsylvania-governor-race-20210216.html%3foutputType=amp


30 year old chud Sean Gale fresh off his brothers nonexistent coat tails (who is running for governor)

For those of you not from MontCo, Joe gale is the minority county commissioner who won his seat by being extra chuddy and gaming the dumbass way we elect county commissioners. Sean Gale is his younger brother whose never held elective office and failed miserably in his run for county commissioner. Both the gale brothers live with their parents.

If there’s anyone that deserves a swirlie from John Fetterman it’s these assholes but i can’t imagine Sean Gale getting anywhere close to the nomination.

Joe Gale has a little chud cred in SEPA so he might put up respectable numbers in his bid for the nomination but I wouldn’t bet on it

💯 this dude locks his doors the entire time hes in norristown going to the county building

Brian Fitzpatrick seems like the best republican candidate to win a statewide race next year. He’s got a track of record of over performing in The suburbs. Can’t think of anyone else they would field and right now the only declared candidates are the Uber chud Gale brothers.

A new challenger has entered the ring!

Democrat Dr. Val Arkoosh, chair of the Montgomery County Commissioners has jumped into the senate race.

She is....meh, a very run of the mill suburban democrat. She's got the 2nd most name recognition behind Fetterman.

Also a couple new losers on the gop side. Jeff Bartos, failed lt governor candidate and Kathy Barnette, failed congressional candidate.

I have a special dislike for Kathy Barnette because I live in the 4th district that she ran for (and lost by like 30 points) and her campaign was basically the Covid spreading tour at the height of the pandemic going to peoples backyards and houses and cramming as many people into a small space that would come listen to her ramble on about "I'm a black woman AND a republican! I shouldn't exist but i do!"

Still, I think this is a winnable race for the GOP but not by any of the losers who've currently declared

lmao that the 2/3s of the montco commission is running. Norristown's not that bad. You got Franzones, you can get a giant bowl of bimbibap and a massive amount of booze at august moon, already you're way ahead of the food wasteland they will encounter in DC!

In short, the best way to start with this is the Medical Examiner's report stating that her BAC was .45 and the cause of death was alcohol intoxication. But because she was found in my tub, everyone, including myself, assumed she drowned. So many empty vodka bottles were found, it looked like there was a party in my house, but inspection of the security video of people entering and leaving showed only her.

I mean, the fact that no one in my solid blue city had any Hillary signs up, while everywhere outside the city was a solid wall of Trump signs, made me very uneasy before the 2016 election. I know the lanyards who ran Hillary's campaign had all sorts of smarter-than-thou dogmas about how yard signs weren't important, but signaling tribal identity and convincing people that the cool kids are all on board is important in campaigns.

Hillary's strategy seemed to be convincing people that she was the sure thing, and sometimes I think she achieved her goal too well, to the point where lots of people figured they didn't need to show up to vote.

in pa at least they all showed up and just didnt vote for hillary or mcginty but the other statewide offices went to the dems
