If I remember right, it is an old auto shop made into their home.


I would be worried about leached remnants of car liquids in the building and grounds.

she is fantastic. I assume she will do more of this for the general election, introducing her husband. Even if she is a hard act to follow.

We have 2 winners.

Being from Pa. I just knew that John would win the primary. He won despite not being the favorite of establishment Democrats. He won despite having a moderate from Philly siphoning votes away from him. He won despite having a medical situation right before the election. He overcame all of that.

Can't wait to vote for him in November.

My lady grabbed my wrist when I told her I feel really tired. She took my pulse and told me to get my coat, we are going to the ER. I came home with a pacemaker too.
Make a great First Lady some day.

She is the example of a strong woman in 2022.
The first press release where John explained the situation was fun. John says he knew something was wrong so I8990 got checked out. She says I made you get checked out. John says nothing because he knew Gisele did. That is what respect looks like. Pure class. What a team.
It wasn't staged or scripted. Just honesty. Like when Biden speaks!

13. His stroke worries me.

Not because of his health, which is probably fine (I've had a stroke, it isn't necessarily a big thing). But it may influence people's perceptions. Political candidates have always been leery about negative health issues getting out. One can point to many who have won anyway, but one wonders if there are also those who lost because of them.

It would be pretty amazing if Mr Fetterman would win the general election, for several reasons, some having nothing to do with how awesome he himself is. Pennsylvania has historically returned one Democratic and one Republican senator, reflecting the deep political schizophrenia of the Commonwealth. Two Democrats would be significant (to say nothing of the possible affect on the balance of power in the US Senate).
