DDHQ has called the Treasurer primary for Erin Mcclelland. I cannot make heads or tails of what the christ happened there. I’ve never heard of this person so I read her website and Twitter and she seems slightly, uh, forgive my pun…bizarre?

She gives me Marianne Williamson vibes.

How the hell did DePasquale win without getting even 3rd in many of the Philly collars or the city?

Because he won just about everything else.

It's a Dem primary though, isn't the majority of votes coming from the Southeast?

There are 11 million people in Pennsylvania who live outside of Philadelphia.

So Garrity is a lock to win now?

I wouldn't say she's a lock, but I definitely like her odds more than DeFoor's. Maybe it's my pro-Malcolm bias, though.

I would have to see McLelland's actual plan. Bizzaro at least for his part was already putting out attack ads against Garrity and setting the stage to show her as a 1/6 apologist but I don't know enough about Erin to know if she'll go down that path. I think the path is still easier to beat Garrity because of the 1/6 connection while DeFoor is such a blank slate that it is imperative of Malcolm to start defining himself and DeFoor early.

Actually, I think you're right. Garrity is more beatable because she has at least garnered some attention for being a lunatic, whereas DeFoor has been quiet. He may win by virtue of not causing much of a stir during his first term. And Mcclelland has shown that she can at least win a primary statewide while facing tremendous odds--she seems to have a genuinely good ground game.

Garrity is also a complete sell-out to Jeff Yass.

All Pennsylvania Republicans are. At least the statewide candidates.

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s top fiscal watchdog was set to become the highest-ranking official in the nation to affiliate with the centrist Forward Party this week, until he backed out at the last minute.

Republican Auditor General Tim DeFoor, who is seeking a second term in November’s election, was going to announce his affiliation — but not a formal party change — with the Forward Party at an event in Harrisburg on Wednesday, changing his mind earlier this week.
