Don't forget, McCormick's dad was president of Bloomsburg and the first chancellor of PASSHE.

Sims came in 2nd, which was decent showing. It would have been interesting to see him as Lt. Governor. I guess you didn't vote for Bloom grad Barletta for Governor or the son of Bloom's former president McCormick for senator. Some real characters with Bloom connections, but that's politics.

I don't think the candidates will matter, if we have $6 gas in August, another rise in interest rates, more unfettered immigration, and a low stock market, they show up for the senate race. And if we have anything like the food shortages or rolling blackouts some people are predicting, they'll come out in droves to vote against democrats,even in the burbs. Of course if things stabilize, they won't - we'll see what happens.Last edited by IUPNation; 05-20-2022, 06:09 PM.

I heard Philadelphia and the suburbs had 10% turnout for this election.

I think with the slate of Republican candidates you are going to see low turnout in the "T" among Republicans. Just a guess. Check back with me in 6 months.

I feel like we keep electing people whose attitude only exacerbates the gridlock.
Don't blame me, I'm registered independent.
Given his crazy Christian Nationalist messaging, I won't be surprised if some borderline anti-Semitic stuff comes from his team, probably something along the lines of Shapiro can't be for Christian values because he's not Christian.

When Tom Cornett was Governor there was no gridlock because all 3 (Governor, Senate, Assembly) were Republican. Under that scenario, everybody knows what happened to the PASSHE, education in general, and the fiscal picture of PA. PA cannot elect a right-wing lunatic as Governor or things will get very bad. That's an understatement.
What freaks me out about this election is the movement on both sides toward the extremes. For the record, I am not in PA so I don't see all these ads. I consider myself a radical centrist; however, I am a Democrat. I thought Conor Lamb was a budding superstar. Like a DemocraticTom Ridge. He lost by 33 points to Fetterman.
My take on this is that it's very hard for centrist ideas to make it through the media and the internet and still be appealing to people - to get people excited. This trend is going to go nationwide. I think it is not good.
Ok, to make this about football, what position did Fetterman play at Albright College?Last edited by iupgroundhog; 05-20-2022, 09:14 AM.

Honestly, I told myself I could live with Corman if he won. Then again the last time I told myself something similar we got Tom Corbett.Last edited by Fightingscot82; 05-20-2022, 11:00 AM.
