In reply to the discussion: John Fetterman is about to ruin a conservative talking point [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)18. Yes, I know they run in separate primaries. Fetterman got 37.5%, slightly more than 1/3.....
...in the Lt. Gov. primary. Stack finished 4th behind Fetterman and two other candidates. No doubt his ethical problems did him in.
When Fetterman first announced, I liked what he said. So I signed up for his emails and sent him a donation early in his campaign. But the more I saw and the more I heard, the less I liked.
I think you meant the 2016 primary? Yes, Hillary Clinton won the most populated counties - actually 18 of the top 20 in the state. That might bode well for Lamb, and the fact that he defeated the incumbent in a red district also bodes well for him.
I guess we'll see how it all shakes out in May.

I've said it before- Fetterman is unique, he has those "blue collar" creds. Image is everything!
