Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PA Primary Day: Sam Talarico/Cliff Smathers - May 19, 2026
Q: What role do county committees play in candidate selection and strategy at the state level?
County committees select delegates and guide endorsements, coordinating quarterly activities and caucuses to shape endorsements and strategies for statewide campaigns, which is crucial for resource allocation and message discipline at the local level.
PA Primary Day: Sam Talarico/Cliff Smathers - May 19, 2026
Q: Can you walk us through the most competitive races on the GOP ballot and how you think candidates might fare in the fall?
The most competitive races appear to be the state house districts and the writing-in dynamics; the district with the write-in candidate will depend on how well-organized those supporters are, while incumbents like Pat Harkins currently face little formal opposition, making the fall races more decisive.
PA Primary Day: Sam Talarico/Cliff Smathers - May 19, 2026
Q: Sam, what's your read on the turnout and what it means for the general election?
Turnout looks sleepy for the primary, which isn't unusual, but it signals that the real action will come in November when more competitive races and broader participation are expected to drive higher engagement and fundraising.
Reclaiming Civility in our Discourse: Jeff Coleman - May 15, 2026
Q: What is Common Ground USA and the Spirit of Civility Award?
Common Ground USA aims to create environments for civil elections and civic debate; the Spirit of Civility Award honors individuals who model respectful conduct across ideological lines.
Reclaiming Civility in our Discourse: Jeff Coleman - May 15, 2026
Q: Why did you decide to leave politics and pursue civility work?
He cites the toll on his personal life and marriage, the unsustainable pace of a 24-hour political lifestyle, and a shift toward leveraging media and think tanks to promote constructive, civil dialogue.
