basically, Tom Corbett was the Bruce Rauner of 2014
Who is this^
Oh.
Alright, lemme say something about the ratios
I think we all agree that Bruce Rauner is doomed, not that we really care
You're trying to beat Tom Wolf?
now, as I said, it's not guaranteed
In the primaries, there were 2.2 Democratic votes for each Republican vote
In the general, that was 1.2
easy win still.
Lol
1.2
there's nothing magical about politics. Rauner can win. Democrats can win Mississippi. Will they? Probably not
Illinois has always had shitty governors, I know that many governors got sent to prison for Shit they did.
Illinois is just a shitty state now
yeah, pretty easy win
@FLanon

see if that ratio holds for 2010
Chicago runs it into the ground.
but it shows they have a major foothold in the primaries
>red Pittsburg
lol yeah right
Youi need a Trump type of guy to get that.
And the GOP won't pick someone like that.
They're going to run
Saccone!
xD
Didn’t Rauner become Governor because the last Governor got in prison for some shit he did?
interestingly enough, in 2010, there were 857,142 votes in the GOP primary for the Governor race
in 2014, it dropped to 373,465
now that's because
1. There was also a Senate race in 2010 in PA
2. Tom Corbett apparently disappointed many PA Republicans after he got elected
In the primaries 2010, the ratio is 1.2 Dem votes for each R vote
@Rhodesiaboo I don't know.
In the general, that became 0.84
(R win)
@Rhodesiaboo Well also because 2010 was the year of the republican
wait
So, if we manage to make it slim, that's a good indicator
I pinged the wrong person
@FLanon yeah, the thing is, 2014 in PA was a mediocre time for the Republicans
now, they did well in other parts of the country, but it just goes to show what kind of an effect a shitty incumbent will have
If it's 2:1, it's a bad sign
@zakattack04 both 2010 and 2014 were GOP dominated years
2014 I'd say was a good year
