Barnette is the best candidate here.
I heard her on the radio and liked her A LOT. I hope she wins - unfortunately I can’t vote for her.
Statewide elections in Pennsylvania are won and lost in the suburbs of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Barnette is from suburban Philadelphia — and LOST the only race she ran for elected office there (for Congress in 2020).
I've been all along the fence on this race since Parnell dropped out, but I'll say I'm going to vote in the primary for whoever stands the best chance at beating Fetterman, who is a bigger threat to America than Mehmet Oz could ever hope to be. I'm heartened by a late surge by Barnette. It would be great for some of the also-rans to put their integrity before their ego and line up behind her so she could beat the two big money candidates. This is the week for it to happen.
Sorry to disagree but I watched the candidates’ debate last night. She was the weakest of all of them. Barely articulate. Stumbling in her answers. At one point she accused Carla Sands of making a salacious remark. Sands pointed out that she lost her last attempt at political office by ten points against a weak Democrat. Look up the meaning of salacious. It suggests a sexually suggestive remark. She comes across as poorly educated and just plain dumb. She’d be running against a Harvard graduate in Fetterman. Not a chance.
