    This is great for Pennsylvania, but just in case anyone gets the wrong idea about the voters becoming more progressive, her opponent was named Bizzaro. I guarantee there are more voters in PA that didn’t think he was a serious candidate because of his name than there are voters who looked at pamphlet that says who the party was supporting.

      I don’t know much about him, but the name Bizzaro is not that bizarre in Erie. I’ve been hearing about that family since I was a kid.

        I’m from the Philadelphia suburbs, and I’ve heard of him because I have been following the race. But I have talked with several people who commented about his name being weird, and it’s why they didn’t vote for him. There were lot’s of jokes about the Superman character, either from comic book readers or Seinfeld fans.

            And that’s also where most people live.

            https://worldpopulationreview.com/states/pennsylvania/counties

            Erie county is home to 270,000 people. Add the surrounding counties, and you get close to 400,000.

            Pennsylvania county is 1,500,000 and there’s another 2.4 million in the surrounding suburbs. Mr. Bizzaro would have done well to introduce himself to the opposite corner, because everybody here lumped him in with Vermin Supreme.

            Not that I’m complaining.
