Trump brought over 100k new voters in Pennsylvania into the GOP! Great news for Lou Barletta.

He's corrupt, fits right in with the modern Republican Party.

As long as Casey camps out in the PA Suburbs he should be fine. That being said, this is a legitimate challenge for him.

Barletta is a pretty solid candidate, on paper. he's from a key area of PA where Trump won big. He's got my support.

Agree. Keep in mind, he almost defeated the well-known, well-liked, entrenched Democrat Kanjorski... in 2008 f all years, in a district with both Scranton and Wilkes-Barre proper. He was also super popular in Hazelton at a time when it was super Democratic.

Actually Kanjorski was a highly vulnerable, unpopular incumbent who had been tainted by some rather nasty scandals.  Casey should win pretty easily.

Great news! Barletta is exactly the person who can retain Trump's monster vote surge in PA, an immigration hardiner.

His proven record on immigration as mayor of Hazleton will bring the blue collar Biden democrat from Northeast PA in full force to vote for him against out of touch Casey.

Does Barletta make this race lean more in the R direction (while still leaning towards Casey overall)?

They were allegations of corruption (or maybe more than that) that seemed very credible to me during the time he was on the Hazelton City Council and owned his pavement marking company.  I can't find anything on the internet on it though.

As of now, how would you rate this particular race? Safe R, Likely R, Lean R, Tilt R, Tossup, Tilt D, Lean D, Likely D, Safe D, or something else?

Likely R, Crimedelphia isn't turning out for uninspiring Casey.

The monster vote of Western, Central and especially Northeastern PA is, they want an extra body in the Senate too keep illegals out of the country.

Lean D. Casey is a 2 termer, though idk how entrenched he is. I havent seen any head to head polls but Barletta might be able to hold Trumps gains in Scranton Wilkes-Barre, as well has have better appeal in places like Chester and Bucks counties

Okay, we get it. You hate black people. Anyway, Casey needs to hold his margins in the Philly suburbs, and if he does, it won't really matter if turnout in Philly drops a bit .

I'd say he hates Hispanic people/immigrants more. And the Philly area, including the city, only casts 30% of the vote statewide. He's right that the margins upstate will determine if Casey lives or dies.  The northeast Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area has traditionally been a pillar of the D coalition.

That's the amazing strategy that worked so well in 2016.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Casey will be fine as long as the FBI doesn't announce that he's under investigation 11 days before the election.

You forgot the part where Hillary Clinton did not campaign enough in 2/3 of the state, and also once made a comment about a "basket of deplorables" that many voters in Pennsylvania took as an insult to them.

I agree that Casey won't repeat those mistakes. But President Obama is not running for office and can't carry him.

Yawn. The war on white types like Krazen won't be enough by far to carry Barletta. Likely D.

Frankly, Barletta is probably one of the worst picks the Pennsylvania GOP could have.

I think Costello would be stronger, IMO. Casey and Barletta probably are a wash in the NE, so the PAGOP's best bet is still the collar. Fail to see how Barletta helps them there
