Polling DailyKos: PA Conservative Democrats v. Progressive Democrats
(This was going to be comment to this article, http://www.dailykos.com/...
but I have made it my first diary, as I was late to the discussion and because I wanted to add a poll.)
I was curious about the stance of Kossacks in relation to PA senate discussions, over time, (especially since one primary candidate seems to have positions more like Lieberman and another more like Lamont, but the two races seem to have very different support from the Kos community).
So I pulled the polls from the archives (find them below the jump). I quickly and roughly grouped them discussion or leaning towards either the Progressive Democrat or the Conservative Democrat.
In truth, I do not think that this discussion or the polls are about Casey v. Pennacchio as much as is it about Conservative Democrat v. Progressive Democrat and perhaps stereotypes about Pennsylvania voters.
I lived in the rural part of Pennsylvania

and still have (and lobby) family there to vote Democratic, with modest success. I have moved to the very red part, of the state where it sometimes, often, it seems that money (having it) is a bigger predictor of whether you are 1) a voter, and 2) Republican or Democrat, than the candidate's position or your religion. Although stereotyped as rural, my area (where other family members I lobby live) is the epitome of suburbia, and adjacent to the third largest city in the state (ok, that might not be saying much, but when the discussion is framed as rural v. urban, suburbia is closer to urban than rural).
And now for my own poll. When searching for my link, above, I did a search. How many times do you think the word "outhouse" appears in a search of the DailyKos archives from 3 years ago to now? Vote below.
