(70,395 posts)not sure if anyone else is working on it. tammy is gonna mop the floor w that little twerp. and the way rauner is showing folks what nutbags the thugs are these days, the skids are just greased.
however, i think they are a little over board crowning hillary. we shall see about that. if it is bernie, he will likely bring out a lot of disaffected, not completely batshit "swing voters".

(12,336 posts)Pat (I never met a bank I didn't like) Toomey barely won in 2010, in a verrrry Republican year in PA. I like Joe Sestak, but Katie McGinty would also be a very strong candidate. They both are capable of beating Mr. Heritage Foundation.

We don't have to nominate anti-woman Dems to win in PA-the place is out of the "Deer Hunter" era now.

(12,336 posts)You'd be surprised, though, at how parts of PA are still very "Deer Runner" (not sure what that phrase means, but I'm guessing "very conservative" .

(36,063 posts)If it stays a two candidate contest Russ only needs a get 3%-4% GOTV advantage to have a 6%-8% advantage in the election results due to the way degrees of freedom break across the 50% mark. Historically that's pretty much the turnout advantage that's had WI going dem in the generals for over 20 years.
