Stansky doesn't understand how this works

Schlang was super accommodating, I don't think Stansky understands a majority of voters still rejected his platform. Schlang can't alienate the moderates that put him over the top.

Does Schlang have any more wiggle room if he starts getting attacked from the left? Because Soberman (+) disheartened Democrats who are Stansky or bust could be a problematic combination.

Stansky trying to squeeze as much as he can out of Schlang.

I don't think these voters are going to religiously oppose Schlang. You gotta understand, Hotchkiss has abysmal approval, and Soberman has very little name recognition. Not to mention, the union machines that allowed for Stansky to do well in the primary are going to get behind Schlang if they haven't already.

In my opinion the whole Johnson character joke has gone stale, it’s not really comedic when native English speakers imitate it because it just sounds forced. I don’t know, just not funny for me.

Vilseck needs to get in there. Probably the only way to prevent Joh from spoiling the election.

There is a line Joh shouldn’t cross and lengthy conversations can’t make him understand, it seems like.

To be fair her approval is much more "lousy" than "abysmal", the majority of the state thinks she's doing a pretty bad job and isn't a great Governor but it's not the population universally despising her
For the lefties not staying in step behind Joh, pretty much. Most likely outcome sees a lot of the blue collar guys Joh built on sliding back behind the Dem and he should recover a good number of reluctant votes. Stansky might be able to dig something out of ideologues or really just try to gouge personal scars at Schlang but there's almost nothing he can do short of running to keep big chunks and almost surely the majority of his voters from.going Schlang (and running might not keep them either)

Stansky was a lot more egotistical than Schlang expected, he was being really nice.

Also, @Peurtollano, you made the same mistake I did. Vilseck lives in Honolulu, not Pennsylvania.

Hmm. Ima be honest, the current political climate of NJ and the Stantsky-Schlang tango might actually be beneficial for Ambro in the long run, if I can play my cards right.

I know a couple Louisianans, and based off of my glimpse into Louisianan local politics, I’d think he’d be a liberal conservative, and not a neocon.
