I love Amanda, but I’m a little skeptical of this sensate map of doom, in particular regarding in a commonwealth that borders her own WV.
While I can’t speak to what’s going on in Virginia (which seems like a weird one on the list given the general Blueness of the state) as a resident of the North East city our former President describe…

While I can’t speak to what’s going on in Virginia (which seems like a weird one on the list given the general Blueness of the state) as a resident of the North East city our former President described as one where bad things happen, color me weary on the potential dangers of an R winning in PA. Bob Casey has won all three of his Senate general elections with a margin of anywhere from 9-17 points. The state has gone D in the pres year 3-of-4 presidential elections since he’s been there. He’s a close ally of the last former president to (get this) not have been impeached. We just elected a guy whose health issues (unfairly) gave many swing voters some pause and who has historically been part of the Bernie coalition, not to mention his vulnerabilities on crime last year. He won by 5 points against a handsome weirdo who wasn’t all in on Stop the Steal and fed abortion restrictions. Is Pa really going to boot the most milk-toast liberal in the entire Senate for a guy with Stephen Miller on the payroll?…
Look, we shouldn’t be caught off guard and Ds should run like Casey’s ten points behind, but I sort of think the current panic is a little bit of the commentariat being too cautious due to lingering 2016 PTSD.
