No offense, but I think I know my state and my people better than you do.
Maybe so, but are you just giving in?

Are you talking about James Carville saying "Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh in the west, Philadelphia in the east, with Alabama in between?"
___
I don't think the Democrats are pounding hard enough against Dr. Oz (U.S. Senate) and Doug Mastriano (governor)--who will no doubt disenfranchise Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (Democratic strongholds--at least Philadelphia is).
They're pointing out that Mastriano was at the Capitol January 6. I think they should be playing that as, He tried to overthrow the government of the United States and end our democracy.
There is reason for some optimism in the polls. In mid-June the latest average polling in these two races was as follows:
SENATE GOVERNOR48.2 -- Fetterman 48.2 -- Shapiro
43.8 -- Oz 45.3 -- Mastriano
As of the August 2nd polling:
SENATE GOVERNOR49.0 -- Fetterman 49.8 -- Shapiro
38.3 -- Oz 41.5 -- Mastriano
Fetterman increased his average by 0.8% whereas Oz was down 5.5%
Shapiro increased his average by 1.6% whereas Mastriano was down 3.8%
There are three months to go before the elections and polls can change, of course, but Democrats don't need to pound harder on said issues, unless polling starts to negatively change and/or until closer to the election to solidify support, I would say.
