Governor's Race 2022

Gale is right about Mastriano.

Lou Barletta is also in the race. I used to be a fan of his, haven't heard from him in a few years.

He'd be a huge upgrade from Wolf and I'd support him if he's the nominee but I prefer Mastriano. I think Trump does as well.

Going back a month in this thread, but I always liked Lou. He'd get my vote.

Lou is a good guy but he was a lackluster Candidate last time around. Mastriano, if he can get the audit going, would be a good choice. Teddy Daniels would be good as well.

Former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain announces run for governor in Pennsylvania. It looks like he does not have a campaign website up yet but he looks like a viable candidate. The field is getting crowded with candidates with attractive agendas.

[rangeofficer]

May just have us a strong candidate here. If you recall, he let the cat out of the bag that AG Barr instructed him to not investigate voter fraud claims on the 2020 election.

Aaannnndddd we have another in Guy Ciarrocchi.

How is the GOP going to win with Philly and Pittsburgh?

[EFK]

How did Corbett win? Tom Ridge?

Admittedly most now look at them as 'swamp' or RINOs because I'm pretty sure they are both anti-Trump. I know Ridge definitely is.

I don't think a gung-ho conservative and a huge Trump ally like Mastriano can win this state as a whole. Philly and Pittsburgh, too many easily offended Karens in the suburbs and too many "compassionate" conservatives i.e. bleeding hearts. Only way I see a R winning is to try to play middle of the road, which then suppresses excitement all across the Northern Tier because this truly the cult of Trump up here now. We need huge turnout in the 'T' to counteract the shitholes downstate so it's a catch 22 situation.

I think Corbet won because Lebanon Levi rallied up the Amish votes.

The only way to win in PA at this point is having more ballot counters than the democrats.
