I expected his approvals to rise a little, so not surprised. He's still very vulnerable (moreso than any Republican governor besides Rick Scott and Paul LePage).

But I just made this map of the PA Attorney General race this year, and:



It doesn't show, but Kathleen Kane killed in places like Fayette County and did well in the "T" overall, despite only doing slightly better than Obama and Casey in the Philly suburbs. Though she may not want to (she was just elected AG), she'd be potent against Corbett if she chose to run.

i wonder if Jason Altmire Will Run if he did How good could he do against Corbett

Altmire could win if he ran for Congress in two years. He's probably too conservative to win a statewide nomination.

The PA Democratic party is generally fairly moderate compared to other state parties, and usually focuses on "bread and butter" issues. Sestak is your best bet for a "progressive" who can actually win the primary and the general.

Ah god.  Sestak is a prick.  I never understood why the PA Democratic Party is so centrist.

It can be fairly liberal (in a populist sort of way) on economic issues. But the state party's traditional base (and a good chunk of its supporters even today) are culturally conservative white Catholics.

Still waiting on Sestak, though if necessary I'll support anyone who isn't Allyson Schwartz in the primary.

If Sestak doesn't run, I'm not sure how much I like any of the other possibilities.

Yeah, I don't see the primary being too damaging to the eventual nominee, especially since IIRC this is the Democrats' #1 target this cycle, so the short on cash thing won't last.

All politicians should be guillotined but some are still better than others.

Why would have a debate during the season premieres of Big Bang Theory, The Voice, and Fox's new hit show Gotham?

People who watch BBT should not be allowed to vote.
