I've never posted in this forum before.

Could you explain to this Central Pennsylvanian exactly what your objection to her is?

This article says there's a "recent poll her team touts.Commissioned by the Democratic Governors Association, the poll suggests that Schwartz is positioned to win: She leads the governor 50-42 statewide; 81-12 in Philly; 53-42 in Philly's burbs and Pittsburgh, and 51-38 among women."

But I know very little about her. Is there some other problem? And wouldn't she have to win a primary first?
