Yeah, but they can probably just pass anti-choice policies as legislation anyway.

RThere's two playbooks in PA right now. One is to get Mastriano elected as governor and simply pass abortion restrictions the traditional way (GOP has owned PA legislature for almost two decades, I think). The other is to do a constitutional amendement, which means passing a bill in both houses in two consecutive sessions and then having a public referendum on it. PA GOP has been making noise about the latter after being stymied by Wolf for eight years, but I suspect Kansas is a sign that they should focus their efforts on the statehouse.

IIRC during the Indiana Abortion Ban debate, some of the Dem Senators tried to add an amendment making the law contingent on a statewide referendum, and were (predictably) shot down. When you control the statehouse and the legislature, why bother going back to the people?

The correct answer is New York and Connecticut. CT has the best pizza for sure, but for sandwiches, NY and CT also reign supreme. :)

If you buy your "authentic cheesesteak" at the Times Square of cheesesteaks I don't really know how to help you. The most transcendent cheesesteak I had in Philly was at a shack in South Philly.

I dunno man, after 2016 I'm wary of saying "republicans won't vote for this crazy man!" I think Fetterman is going to demolish Dr. Oz but Fetterman has a good media and ground game and Dr. Oz is a historically unlikeable candidate. Shapiro has the personality of wet cardboard and comes off as another do-nothing Dem. So I could see a low-turnout midterm with fired-up Republicans (mad about inflation or whatever) leading to a Mastriano win, as horrifying as that would be.

i understand what you're saying, it's hard to write anything off after 2016. i'm just hoping the people who voted for trump in 2016 and flipped for biden in 2020 come out to vote. unfortunately i think that's who decides this race. they just need to vote.

There's no such thing as an "authentic cheesesteak". They are made various ways in Philly proper. The good ones have provolone, onions, hot peppers & marinara sauce...which is how they make them in the rest of Pennsylvania. The shitty ones have fucking Cheez Whiz on them, which has been outright rejected as bullshit.

Liz Cheney will make a POTUS bid, lose to Trump, then become his VP to reunite the GOP.

She'll run as a third party to spoil Trump, and the liberal media will run round the clock coverage of her to make her appear to be relevant.

By 2024 I hope to be a leading voice in the British Columbia "Build The Wall" month.

Stuart Thompson, 75, a self-described longtime friend of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said he’s one of the only people in his county who hung a Cheney sign outside their home.

“I don’t see, now, any lane for her to get the Republican nomination,” Thompson acknowledged. “But I’m hopeful that there are enough regular Republicans — Reagan Republicans, whatever you want to call them — that somehow they can get together and rejoin the party. Somehow.”
