Pennsylvania 2014 Discussion Thread

Is Sestak running? Will Tom Corbett be primaried?

[windjammer]

I know it's not an election but I don't know where I should post.

I'm interesting for the US religion, particularly for the division between catholics and protestants. And for Pennsylvania I found two opposite informations:
The first information:
Christianity – 80%
Protestant – 51%
Mainline Protestant – 25%
Evangelical Protestant – 18%
Black Protestant – 7%
Jehovah Witness – 1%
Roman Catholic – 29%
Orthodox – 1%
Non-religious/ Unaffiliated – 13%
Judaism – 2%
Other religions – 1%
Don't know/ refused – 1%

The second information

Pennsylvania: 53% roman catholiscism



What information is correct?

[windjammer]

Some speculation that Corbett might bow out after his first term.

Krazen, I think you should know because you are a republican, who could seek the republican nomination for the Pennsylvania governor if Corbett retires? Thanks

[windjammer]

A new poll from Harper Polling shows a generic Republican trailing a general Dem by only one point but when asked about Corbett specifically, only 24% said he deserves re-election. A whopping 56% want someone else.

So a pure toss up if Corbett is retiring?

[windjammer]

But will Tom Corbett run again?

Sawx, I'm curiious, where will you vote in 2014? Pennsylvania or New Hampshire?

[windjammer]

Well, is there a chance that the democrats regain the upper and/or lower chamber in 2014?
Has someone the PVI  for the state districts?

[windjammer]

Pennsylvania will be a toss up, not lean dem.

[windjammer]

Why is he so unpopular?

[windjammer]

A bit down the road, but Kane is looking at the 2016 Senate race.

Yeah!!!!! Democrats need more women!

[windjammer]

With Corbett's anti gay comments, and with Schwartz the hard pro-choice, Social-centrist PA voters will love this election...

[windjammer]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Well, it will be difficult to be reelected, but not impossible.

[windjammer]

Corbett and Cawley were officially and unanimously endorsed for re-nomination at the GOP State Committee meeting this morning.

So the PA GOP are giving up on the governor's race, then?

I'm not sure Corbett will lose, he might recover.

[windjammer]

R+1 I guess?

[windjammer]

Maybe a huge Wolf victory will allow the democrats to take both chambers , and then to pass Medicaid expansion!

[windjammer]

According to this article, it's misogyny the problem, not Kathleen Kane

[windjammer]

Will Kane resign??

[windjammer]

Can someone explain me the problem? I understand nothing!

[windjammer]

Oh, I agree the loan attack is weak but I think there's more where that came from. Of course, if there isn't, you know I'll obviously enjoy watching Schwartz hilariously fail in a primary she was supposed to have wrapped up.

Why do you seem to specifically hate her?

My god, you were just 15 years old and you were so politically engaged? Impressing

[windjammer]

Meh, we have Sestak.

I would add the first group was not actually targeted.

This could have an effect on the governor's race.  It rallies the Republicans.

lol

Because you've been so right so far on things related to Kane!

Sure, Kane is actually doomed

[windjammer]

Is there a recent poll about the Corbett-Wolf match up?

I'm curious to see if he has been damaged by the primary.

[windjammer]

Tom Wolf is approaching 60% when his opponents were a twice elected, sitting statewide officeholder and a prolific fundraising, nationally recognized Congressman. No one would have imagined...

It does amuse me to see the Stack love around here. I know he's become a progressive hero of sorts but, honestly, guys, you wouldn't really love him.

Why are you saying that Phil? Do you know something about him that shows he's an ass? I'm curious .


And seriously, it's time to poll PA. I guess Wolf is favored, but by which margin?
