Topic: Tom Wolf
This article is basically talking about how Tom wolf is being talked down by many of the candidates including Rob McCord and Allyson Schwartz. There is a big issue where many of the candidates are accusing Tom wolf of tolerating racism. He was compared to the NBA team owner Donald Sterling and how they are extremely similar based on how racist they are. So all the other candidates (mainly RM and AS) are using this against Tom wolf by saying things like "we need a governor who knows racism when he sees it" and tv ads that questions wolf's character, business, finances, and ability to serve. The main reason they are doing this is because the new numbers released from a Allentpwn morning call/ muggle berg college poll that McCord is trailing wolf by 27 points and Schwartz by 25 meaning Tom Wolf is one of the highest candidates. So they want to tear him down, because they have not attracted support based on their ideals, credentials, and ideas. The problem addressed is that candidate in the primary election are accusing Tom Wolf of being racist because of his affiliation with Charlie Roberton's re-election campaign around the time the former York Mayor was indicted in the 1969 race riot murder of Lillie Belle Allen. That being said, it could cause Tom Wolf's popularity to go down. It could have a major impact because it is educating the reader more into detail on what is occurring and it could affect the way some people view Tom Wolf or how some people view Schwartz or McCord in the sense of being against racism, or disagreeing with the other candidates for playing dirty.
