The PA senate election is going to be about who can appeal to the most amount of people in Pennsyltucky while turning out votes in philly as well.
I think Fetterman can do that best, due to his image (his physical apperance, way of talking and attractive wife appeals to pennsyltucky) and his policies (weed legalization, appeals to city, and everyone for that matter)
Lamb will be a good candidate too, but I don't think he will bring out the base as much. Just my 2 cents.

Kenyatta, and Arkoosh are non-starters in my opinion. Not enough statewide appeal for many reasons.

I'm rooting for Fetterman. Nothing negative about Lamb but Fetterman is a 'working man's' candidate even though his education and bank account would belie such a label. He's described as a moderate progressive but he sounds and looks like the Delco neighborhood I'm currently living in.

I guess it depends on how well Fetterman can attract voters in other suburban/city regions (Philly and Pittsburgh in particular) as opposed to Lamb's more conservative position. From what I've read, Fetterman is amassing an impressive war chest, outperforming the competition at the moment. If Lamb gets the nod from leadership, however, that margin could quickly turn around.

Let the games begin!
