Wolf vs. Corbett

[henster]

Assuming Wolf is the nominee how big would the blowout be will it be worse than Santorum's?

[publicunofficial]

No, 2014 won't be 2006 despite all my hopes and prayers.




Also, despite the forum's recent infatuation with him, Wolf is not a political messiah. He's a somewhat dull rich dude who ran ads before McCord or Schwartz did.

Does anyone have any polling matchups between Wolf and Corbett?

Corbett is behind Mr. Wolf by 19 points; a margin which I'm sure will grow.

Also, I am 100% sure it will be like 2006 for the Gubernatorial race.

That margin will shrink.  There will be some damage in the primary.

I'm sure.

Corbett's margin will shrink too, once it's found out all the dirty deals he's made.

[Vega]

Dull rich dudes can win, if they run the right campaign and people like em'.

If Wolfe does exactly the opposite of what Romney did, he should be fine.

[badgate]

Also, despite the forum's recent infatuation with him,

Oh please.

No, Corbett's negatives are all out.

Well, we will see... you never know.

Anyone else think Casey Jr., is itching for a 2018 bid IF Corbett wins in November?

He's got 5 statewide election victories in his belt.

On this year's gubernatorial campaign: Corbett will have to pull a Ray Allen (ala Game 6 of NBA Finals 2013) in order to get reelected.

[free my dawg]

Oh, definitely. With Kane on the bench she'd be perfect to succeed him.

[Vega]

Casey Jr. could run for President in 2020 (or 2024 if a Republican wins).

There's no way a pro-life candidate would win the Democratic nomination.

He could flip flop.

His dad would haunt him if he did that.

NARAL begs to differ. Looking at the facts, I'd say he's pro-life personally but votes moderately on the issue of choice. And unlike the average pro-lifers, he actually supports birth control.

Indeed.

He is a moderate on the pro-life wing.

Regardless, he'd have to flip flop on Roe v. Wade in order to have a prayer.

...

Bob Casey, Jr. is never ever ever running for President of this country. Literally a 0% chance.

And as IceSpear said, the Dems are intolerant of anyone that disagrees with them on their litmus tests. A (nominally) Pro Life candidate would not be nominated for President.

Brian Sandoval (or any pro-choice Republican) would never be able to win the Republican nomination either. In fact, I'd say a pro-life Dem would have a better shot than a pro-choice Rep, though both are so small that they're negligible.

Nah.

Democrats have Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp in their caucus. Meanwhile, people like Pat Roberts and Thad Cochran are facing primaries for being "too moderate". Enough said.

[Vega]

Anyway....

At the Progressive Summit Debate and Straw Poll, the results were as follows...

None of the above .4
Jack Wagner .4
Jo Ellen Litz .4
Allyson Schwartz 9.4
Katie McGinty 10.9
Tom Wolf 22.8
Rob McCord 24
John Hanger 31

Since John Hanger is probably the most liberal Democrat in the primary, this is no surprise. Also, Jo Ellen Litz should do herself a favor and drop-out.
