McCormick is running as a Youngkin clone but we’ll see if he can keep it up. I don’t see him turning out the votes in suburban Philly and the winner needs those counties. Honest opinion is that McCormick beats Lamb but Fetterman beats McCormick. |
What analysis is that? None of the usuals, like Sabato, Cook or others are actually predicting a "strong GOP wave" and nor is there any polling that really reflects anything like that either. Or, in the absence of actual data, are you just speaking from "well in the past..." types of things where somehow there should always be a swing to oppose the incumbent President's party? Or GOP-bubble hubris, "OF COURSE the entire world hates senile SleepyJoe" |
I look at the polls. And read the papers. Don't you? |
That's not necessarily true. Recent pollings have them neck-and-neck. They both have a lot of personal cash to throw at it and it will be a very expensive primary. You have a Hollywod star vs a hedge fund CEO and both are willing to add personal funds to their campaigns in addition to anything they raise. https://www.abc27.com/2022-united-states-senate-election-in-pennsylvania/pennsylvania-senate-primary-poll-oz-mccormick-tied-majority-undecided/

Which shows you how stupid most people in PA are. “Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburg in the west, and “Deliverance” in the middle”. That’s Pennsylvania |

Of course I read. The polls I'm seeing *are not* showing a massive GOP wave. In fact some of the GOP incumbents are behind. And, the expert forecasts do not show any massive GOP wave either. For example, they are showing between 185 and 192 solid Dem seats vs 168-169 R seats in the House with a steep climb for the Rs to get enough seats for a majority. Far from a wave. So, what polls and papers are you citing? |
That’s a reference to James Carville who in 1986 called Pennsylvania Paoli and Penn Hills [Philadelphia and Pittsburgh] with Alabama in the middle. |
Yeah I know. But those people aren’t “stupid.” Not in the slightest. |
That’s your opinion. |

Fetterman seems to have a pretty solid lead in primary with about 6.5 weeks left.

They aren’t as dumb as Alabama but not far off. The PA nutters are viscous. You should see what they did to school boards. They make the LCPS freakshows look tame. |
