Roberts has to get his act together - still plenty of time, but it will run out of it doesn’t get started. That ridiculous candidate running against him in the primary bears a lot of responsibility for this as well. The primary wasn’t that long ago so those wounds are still healing...more of the Republican base will come back into the fold after the some of the bad taste of the bitter primary subsides. That said, the Democrats and their shenanigans are alive and well, and nothing is guaranteed - trying to get a candidate on the ballot without the label “Democrat” to avoid the negative connotations that will come with it in this election cycle is a clever move.
Wolf should have served to wake up Roberts. He failed to achieve that purpose. Roberts still thinks that he is entitled to the seat by virtue of family inheritance and connections. He seems to consider it beneath him to live in the state and to campaign here. But, he’s still the far better choice for November. One hopes that the campaign shake up no ongoing will turn things around.
I supported Wolf in the primary, but it had nothing to do with Wolf. Many of us wanted a way to express our dissatisfaction with Roberts. Although he was shocked by the outcome, I don’t think that he took anything from it. He attributed it all to zombies and people lying about his record.
