In PA-4, State Rep. Mary Jo Daley has dropped out and endorsed fellow State Rep. Madeleine Dean, citing the need to elect a Democratic woman from Pennsylvania.

In PA-5, after a DelCo Dem’s endorsement vote that ended with no endorsement, Shelly Chauncey has thrown her support behind Ashley Lunkenheimer, who finished in second place at the convention.

Joe Sestak endorsed candidate Thomas Badey threw his support behind Mary Gay Scanlon, the Democrat who finished 1st on the Democratic ballot, citing the need for a representative from Delaware County, which makes up 80% of PA-5. He said he was probably going to formally drop out soon. Badey got into some hot water after a gaffe where he suggested that a woman couldn’t win this seat, and it likely explains his poor showing at the convention.

In the Pennsylvania Senate race, Republican challenger Lou Barletta continues to struggle as he pulls in only $1.26 million in the first three months of 2018. Senator Bob Casey has raised double that, and has over $10 million in the bank.

Well, NJ-11s ny media market is an expensive one. But NJ-02 is already accepted as lost I feel by everyone, Van Drew is just a good candidate and he matches the district in a blue year.

I can see why Frelinghuysen retired. Sherrill’s fundraising is off the charts, especially considering that she’s not self-funding her campaign.

I just can't wrap my head around what the hell the GOP is thinking in regards to Baldwin. Why blow so much money going after her when Trump barely won the state/they have no top tier recruit/the state has seen massive shifts to the dems in local races/Walker is going to be a tight and plorazing govenor race? Why not spend that 9 million in a place like IN or ND?

It’s a matter of pride. The Koch Brothers want to show that they fully took over Wisconsin, and Baldwin is the last Democrat standing in their way.

I am worried about Donnelly though. His $1.6 million haul is pretty low compared to other incumbents. At least $3 million seems to be sweet spot and he’s not really even close to that. He benefits from a fractured Republican field though, so we’ll see.

Yeah, I think Donnelly has a good chance of losing vs braun.

The good news for him is Indiana is very elastic and isn't nearly as pro Trump as his R+20 showing in 2016 seems to suggest.

Could cash-flush incumbents like Casey send Donnelly some money, I wonder? How’s DSCC doing?

Nicole Hockley, another parent who lost a young child at Newtown and co-founder of non-profit Sandy Hook Promise is also considering running.

It would be a compelling race if it is Hockley/Barden vs. Petit with the tragic losses and experiences they have all gone through in their lives.

I saw Hockley is considering. They won't run against each other, but it's clear that the Dems think Petit will run.

But he's guaranteed to beat McCaskill, right?

But seriously I'm starting to worry less about this race and more about Indiana. In fact, I wish that they polled Indiana more often.
