Scott Wagner is probably the worst....I mean, THE WORST candidate I have ever seen the GOP put up there for statewide office. And that’s really saying something!

After watching video of him attacking a cameraman and threatening to stomp the current Governor’s face in golf cleats, I was almost too embarrassed to vote for him.

Inept, offputting, incompetent....I almost don’t have enough adjectives to describe this candidate or this campaign.

Add to that Lou Barletta yard signs that omit his last name when his #1 problem is NAME RECOGNITION!

The conspiracy theory in PA is that Republicans deliberately tank elections because many of them make a nice buck off of Democrat largesse, and I’m beginning to believe it.

GOP bailed on Michigan and didn’t support our Governor candidate at all.

At the same time, Republican governors are cruising to reelection in deep-blue states like Massachusetts...

Wrong. We have an incumbent 'dem running against a challenger 'Rat.

They really should check the pilot before turning on the GASLIGHT.

The Hill is like a root canal

The poster should just link to the Hill rather than post all their garbage articles independently. Talk about bandwidth waste!

PA people need a lot of persuading, don’t they?

No. Polis will win here.

GOP is uninspiring, incompetent and inept.

No wonder Democrats run rings around them.

Colorado might go back to R. No mention of that.

How does Stapleton win? He has almost been invisible throughout this election. And barely anyone in Colorado knows polis is openly gay and will live in the gov mansion with his partner and small boy.

Unlikely. Polis (D) has been consistently ahead by 5 to 8 points.

#1 lesson should be that if you have ever served in the State Legislature in Harrisburg, that is NOT a resume enhancement!

Nearly all Pennsylvanians regard every one of those guys, Democrat or Republican, as nothing but a bunch of crooks. Conor Lamb skated to a victory because most found the inexperienced newbie to be far preferable to Rick Saccone, a made member of the Harrisburg mob.

Likewise Wagner. Insider, Harrisburg crony. Everything voters do NOT trust here.

Wolf doesn’t need signs. Wagner self-destructed.

All this article says is that the GOP is defending more seats. They provide zero evidence of any momentum indicating a shift.

Based on this, it is just as likely the 9 D mansions flip to Rs.

We’ll see.

I’m in SW PA (Pittsburgh suburbs) and there’s never been a ton of Wolf or Casey signs here either. Because signs don’t mean much to begin with, and because they aren’t needed in these 2 cases. Even the hard-core Rat poll worker down the street from me didn’t bother to put out Wolf or Casey signs, just one for state rep.

Wagner will be lucky to approach 45% tonight. Lou might get 47% or so. Trump tried damn hard to get Lou some momentum but we’re going to be stuck with the liberal Casey pup and his 46 IQ for the next 6 years.

I don’t know about other states, but Hogan will win in a virtual walkover here in Maryland.

Gloom and doom from The Hill. Why am I not surprised?

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Hopefully The Hill will be disappointed this evening.
