If you want a Senator who runs as a Socialist, feeds the GOP attack ads, & didn't help with infrastructure, I'M NOT YOUR GUY.
That's not how you beat Republicans. I know because I've actually done it & will again.
I'm a normal Democrat who supports jobs & wins elections. #PASen

(32,645 posts)Whether it's Conor Lamb or John Fetterman, either one would make an awesome Senator.
We actually need to keep Lamb's seat in the House, because Lamb running for the Senate means his House seat could flip back to R. We cannot allow that to happen!

(3,492 posts)Hes a straight up Bernie type on policy but he knows how to talk to the Pennsyltuckians. He looks like them too.
Plus he was going to beat the shit out of that asshole Nick Gillespie on Real Time a few years ago.
Ill vote for whomever wins the primary but I really like Fetterman.

(4,226 posts)Fetterman when he ran for Lt. Governor. I love that Fetterman will not back down from anyone...nor will his wife. I like Lamb but if we still lived in PA, I would vote for Fetterman in a heartbeat.

(43,189 posts)Progressives get all the enthusiasm and much of the press, but if we're going to counter the GOP family values church and school board crowd, we could do far worse than bread and butter issues. It's so old it's almost fresh and new again, and progressives as a group will age into that spot.

(487 posts)And I prefer Fetterman. Way more electable. The people who half pay attention that seems to win votes these days will notice his blue collar looks, demeanor, attractive wife and vote him in along with the people who agree with his stances.

I'm worried Connor lamb is going to end up like Joe Kennedy. Joe Kennedy would have been a clear favorite if he had just waited a bit for one if the senators to retire. Until then he would still be in the house .
Connor Lamb is actually a good Potential VP choice also but will he throw it all away running for a seat he could lose ?
They need to learn from Joe Biden. I know he ran for President but he did it in a way he didn't lose his seat if he lost the primary.
excellent observations
