My Election Day Picks: The Kiss of Death

Just because I've blown a few election predictions, I've developed this reputation for cursing politicians to the political graveyard by simply saying I like them. Obviously, that's just nonsense. So let me tell you now who is going to win in the upcoming primary races.

Governor - I'm guessing Allyson Schwartz. I'm sure no one will mind that she not only supports abortion, but actually ran a clinic.

Lt. Gov. - Harrisburg City Councilman Brad Koplinski. Because why should Harrisburg be the only place that goes broke?

State Senator - Sign-bashing Joe "Won by One" Capozzolo, who slaughtered his competition for Bangor Mayor by one vote. Two years ago, he was crushed by Joe Emrick, a member of the Asshole Party. For some reason, he thinks he'll do better against a Republican who actually is a nice guy and has a $400,000 warchest.

State Rep. - Joe Emrick, proud member of the Asshole party, is running unopposed. So I'm picking him.

Congress: - Matt Cartwright has no Democratic opponent. On the R side, I'm goin' with Matt Dietz. Any friend of Tony Simao is a pal of mine.

(Here's a little secret. Don't tell anyone. I already voted because I'm working the polls on Tuesday. I went with Tom Wolf, Mike Stack and Scott Parsons, but I don't want to jinx them. I like Mark Aurand, but Scavello will crush him in the General. I think Scott could win, if Joe Cap hasn't taken away too many votes).

    You forgot to mention that "One vote Joe" Capozzolo was caught and charged with stealing one of his cousins signs- who at the time was running for re-election to the school board.

    ThAt is what I was getting at when I called him " sign-bashing." He told me he painted them, and never actually stole them.

    At least he fessed up to the deed. Small credit for that but not much.

    I predict Callahan in an easy win over John Brown. Democrats will sweep all County races.

    I'm surprised you didn't pick a winner in the PA HD183 primary.

    Good post, Bernie. I came here looking for some last minute candidate information and/or Bernie's picks, and as I started reading this post, I thought "what the f*@( is he smoking?" Shortly I realized there was some funny business going on. I'll use some of your older posts or in a pinch your last paragraph. Speaking of pinch, I see you wrote about shit and Ron Angle in another post.
