Gubernatorial Endorsements (2014)

PA - Yeah, I'm not endorsing Wolf.

What's wrong with Wolf?

I know I say this a lot, but Wolf as a millionaire used his own money and some loans to essentially buy himself the nomination all while FitzGerald is literally campaigning his heart and soul out here in Ohio and besides financial help from the state party and individual donors, doesn't get squat. FitzGerald has managed one radio ad with the little money he has while Wolf had a total ad blitz and for Wolf to get all this praise and more outside help is despicable.

Wolf also let his own workers be laid off after once abandoning his company while guaranteeing a huge payload for himself. Plus, while the McCord ad was viewed in bad taste, I can feel for McCord since he does have a black wife and I myself have a few black friends and the fact that Wolf could actually chair the campaign of a total racist is by no means forgivable, whether he asked Robertson to drop out of the race for York Mayor or not. I agree with him on the issues, but ethically, he's totally in the wrong.

Wolf buying the nomination actually was my big concern about him (I voted for Schwartz), but I don't think anybody here in the state actually took McCord's race baiting seriously. In fact, it seriously damaged his potential future as a statewide candidate. It was completely below the belt and reeked of desperation.

I don't really understand your first paragraph. Even if Fitzgerald had as much money as Wolf did I doubt he'd be leading, since the key factor is that Kasich is popular while Corbett is extremely unpopular. Blame the voters of Ohio for that one. It seems very odd that you'd have this as a reason for not endorsing Wolf.

I'm pretty sure Corbett has more Democratic crossover support in Germany than he does in Pennsylvania.

Alabama: Nope. Not even a Prof. Victor Sanchez Williams-esque option aside from those two terrible choices?
Nevada: Sandoval easily deserves re-election, especially over a joke candidate that couldn't even beat nobody.
New York: If it was actually a close race I'd probably crush my nose and vote Cuomo, but luckily that won't be a concern.
Ohio: lolFitzGerald
Tennessee: Same reason I endorsed Alexander. Haslam's not too bad considering it's Tennessee plus the Democrat is a joke.
