Doug Mastriano (R) ended his losing #PAGov campaign with more than $1 million in cash. This is about 15% of the money he had for the entire general election campaign. Josh Shapiro (D) outspent Mastriano by a whopping $66 million to $7 million margin. 1/3

Doug Mastriano's shoestring #PAGov campaign was so broke it did not launch its first TV ad until October & then only spent $393,000 in TV advertising in the final weeks. His having over a $1 million left over in his campaign is pretty remarkable malpractice. 2/3
One PA GOP strategist called Mastriano's campaign cash hoard "one of the most irresponsible and selfish actions Iāve seen a candidate for office at any level takeā & blamed GOP downballot state House losses on Mastriano. 3/3
.@RRHElections Indeed, candidate quality matters:
The machine's Martha McSally who lost #AZSen by 2.4% in 2018, lost it again by 2.4% in a year that Trump lost the state by only 0.3%.
@KariLake this year is down only 0.6 there and the AG candidate broke even.

.@SeanTrende Besides, many Republicans/Cons who whine about Trump Candidates, made it fashionable or even a call of patriotism for Republicans/Cons to oppose Trump/his candidates, and when they lose (often by fractions), the saboteurs are like all "see? We told you." cc @brithume
Hey @SeanTrende @RRHElections @EWErickson @brithume: I am not sure how candidates of such low quality that they fail in high turnout GOP primaries, would suddenly win the general. The first test is to win the primary, and candidates need many of these "crazies" for the general.
1/5 Kemp signed new election laws into place following the 2020 elections (meaning, it was predicated on 2020 having issues) and his opponent was @staceyabrams; hardly a bad candidate.
Yet, Kemp won by a margin of 7.6!
This blows up two major talking points about the midterms:
Yet, Kemp won by a margin of 7.6!
This blows up two major talking points about the midterms:
2/5 One being that talking/acting on claims regarding 2020 is a loser. The other: Candidate quality. (Fetterman won. High quality š¤).
But hey Narratives live on even if there aren't facts to back it such as Clinton's 1992 win being due to the line "It's the economy, stupid."
But hey Narratives live on even if there aren't facts to back it such as Clinton's 1992 win being due to the line "It's the economy, stupid."
3/5 Clinton won only 43% of the popular vote in 1992; that's less than the 45% Dem Dukakis won in 1988 when the Reagan/Bush economy was booming. Only diff is that 45% in 1988 was not enough to win but it was in 1992 due to the split on the center/center-right among Bush/Perot.
Some interesting county-level results in the #PAGov election. Current totals have Shapiro up 53-45% in Cumberland, up by 59 votes in York, and only losing Lancaster 50-48%.
I don't expect the York result to hold (they only have ~125k votes counted; 169k were cast in 2018), but the Cumberland/Lancaster ones are pretty much in line with 2018.
People want to make every election win/loss about Trump/not Trump.
Trump campaigned endlessly with JDV in OH; he won by 6.6.
Odea in Colorado made anti-Trumpism his banner issue and he lost by double digits.

Zeldin didn't hug or run from Trump and lost by only 5+ in a deep-blue state!
Dems and kept hammering him on Trump. Maybe if he embraced Trump he could've made up the gap from pro-Trumpers since anti-Trumpers anyway got the anti-Trump message from Dems.
Who knows.

Next iteration of ReAwaken America Tour starts today in Pennsylvania with speakers like Michael Flynn, Eric Trump, Roger Stone, Doug Mastriano, Greg Locke, & Mike Lindell. We've been covering RAT for a year in @WordandWay's newsletter A Public Witness (publicwitness.wordandway.org)
Our reports on previous ReAwaken America events have covered Flynn's #ChristianNationalist vision (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/one-nation-uā¦ & publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/the-sermon-mā¦), demonizing of political opponents (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/the-sermon-mā¦) & use of militant rhetoric (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/taking-off-tā¦).

If elected PA governor, @dougmastriano says āWeāre going to drill and dig, weāre going to be a net exporter of energy around the world, weāre going to drive down prices, drive down taxes, and be open for business hereāand restore the power to the people.ā
Mastriano told @RealAmVoice āThe Democrats are taking away parental rights, they want to confuse your kids with pronouns, they celebrate boys in the girlsā bathroom, they celebrate rolling back womenās rights in athletics, graphic porn in elementary school, and just on & on & onā
Mastriano added, āMy opponentās the [Pennsylvania] Attorney General. Crime has gone up 40% since heās been the AG. Weāre leading the way in homicides in Philadelphia, 1,000 carjackings, 4th in fentanyl deaths in nationā¦the Democratic Party is collapsingā¦ā
Can you imagine being the Pennsylvania and DC-NY media, and being scooped on John Fetterman (mayor and then Pa. LG) being SUED by his school district for unpaid taxes? It happened in 2015 and now again in 2022. #pasen
freebeacon.com/democrats/fettā¦

Most of the Fetterman unpaid tax stories are from local Pittsburgh media in 2016. The Free Beacon recently updated the story, noting the liens continued into 2019. (2) #pasen #pagov

Rule No. 1 about political reportage: You look up all public government records on a candidate. Arrest records. Tax liens and property records. Divorce and family. (Remember when the Tribune sued for the records of Obama's opponent in 2004?) (3)
I donāt want to debate the margin, but I do think two things are becoming clearer every day.
(1) Shapiro, who is spending massively on the airwaves, is heavily favored against Mastriano, who is broke.
(2) Shapiro is likely to outrun Fetterman (+10 in the poll)

By any metric, whether itās fundamentals (money + partisan lean + ticket-splitting tendencies in gubernatorial races) or polling (topline + favorables), Shapiro is a very heavy favorite right now.
Shapiro is at 54% already, and his favorables are the inverse of Mastrianoās (which are underwater by double digits). You need a big swing *even if* Mastriano collects all undecideds ā but thatās not as easy for him to do, because his campaign is broke and canāt spend.

Most voters describe @JohnFetterman as saying what he really believes, more so than they describe @DrOz doing so. A big majority describe Oz as just saying what he thinks voters want to hear.
Haven't seen a battleground state poll with this many red-flags lately for Rs.
#PAGov: Shapiro 50 (51% favorable, 34% unfavorable), Mastriano 40 (38% favorable, 48% unfavorable)
#PASen: Fetterman 47 (49% favorable, 34% unfavorable), Oz 36 (35% favorable, 55% unfavorable)

Shapiro has a >$10M fundraising advantage on Mastriano. The bigger problem for Mastriano, though, is that he has < $1M in COH and the RGA has no desire to get involved. With polls like this, you see why. Against a candidate like Shapiro with those numbers, that's a tough climb up
You can't get voters to like you or hear of you if you have no money, and the other problem is that virtually everyone who does hear of Mastriano and isn't a Republican seems to hate him. Tough to win a gubernatorial election that way, especially with those Shapiro favorables.
Given *the U.S. Senate* existing in its current broken form, this is a pretty strong deal. Puts even more pressure on GOP state legislatures like PA to act.
Particularly intrigued by this. Mastriano and other pro-gun PA GOP legislators have pledged to try to block any new federal gun safety restrictions. This would likely make the list.
Very interested to see whether Mastriano comes out against this bipartisan deal. This is what he said earlier this year about *any* new federal gun safety measures. #PAGOV

Big turnout for White campaign rally in Drexel Hill
White tells the crowd Shapiro is worried -- running digital ads against him. Says Philly Building Trades have endorsed him in the primary. "we're growing a party," he says.
Here at the #PASen GOP forum. Dave McCormick is skipping; John Gizzi, one of the moderators, joked that they thought about putting a āstuffed rhinocerosā (RINO) on the stage.
Of the candidates here - Barnette, Bochetto, Bartos, Gale, Oz, Sands - most applause by far was for Barnette. This is a conservative conference, not a regular GOP meeting, so make of that what you will. (Polite applause for Oz, who's been working the crowd all day.)
First question is about social media censorship: "Donald Trump can't tweet, but the Kremlin can."
Pennsylvania Republicans think they can condescend to young people, but those meddling #youthvote kids wonāt let them get away with it. Hereās who weāre ready to put in office. (1/9) #PApol
