The Fetterman stroke news sucks, he seems okay though. Hopefully doesn't hurt his chances

most of his votes are banked at this point...dems are heavy % mail ballot now

[Munson]

Yeah good point, wasn't sure what PA's early/mail vote rules were now after 2020, if the changes were permanent or not.

[Diomedes]

also dio and igy who we voting for for md gov?  I haven't really started paying attention yet. 

I'll probably vote for Baker in the primary.

Then whoever the Dem nominee is in the general, of course.

they are but it was in that weird window before trump told republicans mail votes = fraud

if shapiro doesnt win im not quite sure if anybody is going to eligible to vote

[ice grillin you]

of people who can win I like Wes Moore

[MDS]

polling is fickle but the fav/unfav is a pretty decent indicator. in 16 it was the neon sign showing the monstrous issues with hillary

would hate to see oz lose to a christian nationalist bigot. what a terrible thing that would be

Lol Cawthorn lost

[MDS]

mccormick appears to have it. hes probably the best candidate for the racists but he is a hedge fund douchenozzle who has never actually lived in PA. plus i just think fetterman would beat anybody. really unique candidate who can shave the margins in pennsyltucky. and this is hysterical that trump put all his weight behind oz.

shaprio/mastriano should be a cake walk. this is probably the most important election out of any for at least people who live in this commonwealth. without a D gov the state would become alabama politically. its that thin.

[MDS]

more of my pa takes that nobody asked for

- lol @ lou barletta. gets his clock cleaned in 2018 midterms and loses soundly in this primary to a lunatic christian nationalist who jerked off to january 6th and wants to force birth 15 year olds who were raped by their uncle. go away loser.

-my boy brian sims was destroyed in the lt gov primary (the one fetterman won in 18). i dont know who austin davis is (he is not the former phillie) but he got shapiros endorsement and rode that. not hard to see him doing this for 8 years then making a run himself in 2030. whatever keeps the seat blue...

-2 people ran against dwight evans in pa03. 1 nonsense candidate and 1 super progressive who tried a little. i voted for her. shes looking in the 15-20% range. theres a reason nobody is stepping up to beat dwight, because it cant be done.

-anthony hardy williams is a clay davis-like state senator in my area. he got his seat because his dad (hardy williams) pulled back his nomination at the final moment so his son, who secretly filed, could run unopposed. good little scheme. hes held that seat for 25 years. he finally got a semi serious challenge from a super progressive. looks to be 60-40 AHW now but theres still a lot of vote out. i dont think theres enough to swing by well see. i got a robocall from kenyatta johnson (lol) to support him so you know 1) that wasnt free and 2) they were scared and paid up for it

-2 ballot questions about removing gendered language (like fireman) from city docs has 68% support. solid but low for an 85% dem city. lotta aunties aint down with the she/them/his cause quite yet.

[MDS]

oh man. oz and mccormick are tight. 0.4% difference. very much in the recount zone. this will be handled very well and professionally by both campaigns.

the state rep in my old dickinson narrows neighborhood, elizabeth fielder, had her seat for a few years. shes a super progressive who doesnt play with the city bosses. well they endorsed some wop over her who is basically fully maga. she is winning 80% of the vote. lol @ bob brady and his crew of corrupt cigar chomping criminals. get looooooooooooost.

So the PA GOP senate primary is going to come down to... wait for it... mail-in votes.

Irony.  Meter.  Melted.

They're having problems with their bamboo scanners so results will be delayed
