Polls, in general, underestimate Republican support in Pennsylvania. If Mr. Fetterman is only leading most polls by one or two percentage points, then Dr. Oz is in great shape!

2016 and 2020 the polls underestimated Rep support in Penn by 4. (see RCP)

Since 2014 the polls have underestimated overall Rep. support by an ave. of 3 points. With regards to the Senate: 2.6 points

Betting market gives Rep. a 2 in 3 chance of taking control of the Senate.

Fetterman showing up to a debate in blue jeans and a hoodie is pretty funny. That he's still in the picture is disgraceful.

You aren't paying attention then. Of course, only you know whether that is willful or not.

Pennsylvania Democratic Senator Casey certainly doesn't seek attention, spew endless grievances and instigate daily disruptions in Congress and our commonwealth, Lou, that's for sure. Those silly & shallow objectives may define showing up for work for MAGA Republicanism, but they definitely are not emblematic of the serious effort of effective governing that Casey has exhibited since 2006 in the US Senate.

Bob Casey has fought for the needs of workers, children, and families in the Commonwealth and across the Nation during his more than 15 years in the U.S. Senate.
He has been a strong advocate for policies that have raised wages for the middle class and improved early learning opportunities and health care for children among many other achievements for Pennsylvanians and We the American People.

He has proposed and lead sponsored more than 30 bills which have been enacted into law. Legislation such as The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, The Growing Opportunities for Agriculture and Responding to Markets Act, The Children’s Hospital GME Support Reauthorization Act, The Emergency Medical Services for Children Act, The Starting Early Starting Right Act, The Recovering Missing Children Act, The River Act, The Empowering Parents and Students Through Information Act, The Computer Science Education and Jobs Act, The Global Food Security Act, Department of Veterans Affairs Bonus Transparency Act, The Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship Act and on and on.

He has served with distinction on numerous committees through the years and has moved legislation to advance the priorities of the Commonwealth. Senator Casey serves on four committees, here in 2022: Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions/ Chairman of Children & Families sub-committee; Committee on Finance; Select Committee on Intelligence; Chairman of the Committee on Aging.

He co-sponsored more than 30 other pieces of legislation which have been signed into law, Lou. I'm willing to bet you personally have benefitted from Senator Bob Casey's idea of showing up for work for we the people of Pennsylvania and the United States of America.

More disinformation to disparage John Fetterman.

The job of lieutenant governor comes with limited duties. In Pennsylvania, the primary legal responsibilities for a lieutenant governor are presiding over Senate sessions, heading up the governor’s emergency management committee and chairing the Board of Pardons---a body tasked with reviewing and recommending pardons and commutations to the governor.

Despite the role of lieutenant governor not holding a whole lot of power, John Fetterman throughout his tenure as lieutenant governor used the position to work tirelessly for Tom Wolf by supporting our governor’s attempts to raise the minimum wage to $15 and enact a severance tax on natural gas extraction.

Fetterman took the Board of Pardons role seriously and magnified it to learn about and tirelessly advocate for advancement in the realm of criminal justice. (At the beginning of his term in 2019, Fetterman embarked on a statewide, 67-county listening tour where he fielded comments, questions and concerns and then worked with law enforcement, and other legal and social committees/organizations associated with his Board of Pardons position)

So, from one side of their mouths, we hear Fetterman's detractors calling him a lazy bum who doesn't show up for work and from the other side they tell us he is to be feared for his hard-working effort & accomplishments re criminal justice in Pennsylvania.

What precautions are in place to prevent Fetterman from being fed talking points on the device he's using for close captioning in tonight's debate.

A screen behind the moderator will show text of everything being said. By the moderator and by both candidates. Why would that even be considered being fed talking points? It's not as if only Fetterman will be reading the questions of the moderator and the answers he and Oz provide in real time as they are spoken. OZ will see and read everything exactly as Fetterman does and at the same time.

Pretending facts aren't facts doesn't make the truth disappear.

HINT for the factually immune: Don't vote for Fetterman, he doesn't even show up for work he's a lazy bum. Don't vote for Fetterman as he is soft on crime, just look at his body of work as Lieutenant-governor.

Fetterman haters cannot have it both ways...neither can MAGA Republican forced birther, election denier Mehmet Oz.
