Archduke Frantz Fanon posted: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 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. Ramrod Hotshot posted:John is cool 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

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:. There were actually several nonrando candidates but Wolf dropped millions of his own money to buy the primary. Although it certainly helped that the most serious challenger was my former congresswoman Allyson Schwartz who had already lost a statewide primary, and she was so blah she couldn’t win either of the 2 counties she represented. It’s for the best too cause I don’t think she would have won the general.

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:looking at the layout of the pa dem party Shapiro for governor is a lock, dudes been eyeing the governors mansion since he was my state rep, but i think some of centrist house members might make a go at the senate. I think Nutter looked into it in 2016 and passed, i dont imagine he would try now. Brendan Boyle? Madeline Dean? Connor Lamb? Brian Fitzpatrick on the GOP side. Comedy Option: Joe Sestak I think the best chance dems have to not get blown out is Shapiro for gov, fetterman for senate ticket as it's something for everyone and will bump up turnout

He's good at bringing out votes but no doubt that 2020 spooked him when his re-election was closer then he would have liked and 2 republican nobodies won statewide.

We have our first Republican contender in the race. 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

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Young people are leaving those counties like crazy and any population increases they've seen in the past twenty years are people deliberately self-segregating from Allegheny County, same stuff is happening with Butler County. the trade off is that cities are becoming even more blue and the philly suburbs are competitive for democrats after being pretty much a lock for republicans for decades. dems won the MontCo commissioners majority for the first time ever in 2011 and DelCo in 2017. Bucks county status = still enough chuds to keep it red but its not like a blowout

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

I don’t know if the next governor is going to be a Republican or democrat but I do know that The chuds will control the state legislature probably for the rest of my life and certainly for at least the next 30 years. It’s a 100% gently caress you to democrats and the fact that it passed should be a canary in the coal mine for the state dem party

The state's largest city is literally just a bridge away from a legal state, I wonder who in NJ will open a dispensary there first. Have you considered our state legislature is filled with chuds who prioritize owning the libs over doing what’s fiscally practical? Let’s face it, you can’t put a price on owning libs

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:Billy penn had an article about how he cleared the way to running after getting in spats with fetterman as if it wasn't them just drawing out of a hat which one of them would go for the senate and which for the governor its not a secret. Josh Shapiro could have run (and won) for senate in 2016. He chose to run for Attorney General because he had a massive war chest of succ bucks that he couldnt transfer to a federal race but he could to a state race. Dem senate leadership pratically begged him to run for senate and he passed. Plus anyone whose known Shapiro for any amount of time (he was my rep back when he was a state representative so I'm as aware of him as I can be of any elected official) knew he wanted to be governor some day. Fetterman otoh ran for senate in 16, then lost to what was basically a younger Hillary Clinton, who then went on to lose the general to Toomey.
