Now that we are two weeks out from Election Day in #Pennsylvania, it felt like a good time to do some digging into the #PA01 primary results.  

And if I were  @RepBrianFitz, I would be doing a bit of late night drinking to get some sound sleep between now and November.

First off, you have some big overall numbers.

Of the nearly 164,000 votes cast for balloted candidates in the  #PA01 primary, about 10% more went to the Democrats than went to the Republicans.

🔵DEM votes - 89,742
🔴GOP votes - 74,051

Then, when you add  in the candidate info, that piece of the pie that goes to  @RepBrianFItz looks really meager, doesn't it?

Less than 30% of his constituents who voted in the #PA01 primary decided that they wanted @BrianFitzUSA back.

Yikes, that's an ego-bruiser!

Then look at what happens when you look at the intra-party contests!

A way higher percentage of voting Democrats got the #PA01 candidate they wanted - @Finello4PA, as compared to #GOP voters.

Over 1/3 of them aren't happy. That's a big enthusiasm problem for @RepBrianFitz

The pundits have this #PA01 race as a "Leans R," but that's not the whole story. 

@RepBrianFitz has a big war chest, and people may have loved his brother... but money and #nepotism aren't everything.

These numbers must have the @Finello4PA folks grinning. /end
