Lou Barletta Running for PA Senate

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

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.

ROTFL

Bear in mind Casey outperformed Obama '12 and Wolf '14 in Barletta's district, FWIW

I'm aware. Casey is a good fit for that area, but so is Barletta, and he'll the best candidate to try and neutralize it, which is necessary to win. I still have Casey as the favorite, but Barletta definitely has a path, albeit a narrow one with little room for error.

No he doesn't and he's not even an A-list recruit, tbh.
