Polling had Biden up 1.2% over Trump. He won by 1.2%.

MAGA persons have demonstrated they don't mind being used. They boosted Trump's ego and lined his pockets, after all.

How is Fetterman a socialist? Be specific.

He seems to be a charlatan.



We used to think that a Senator of the United States was an exceptional person. Part of the 'most deliberative body' in the world.



I agree: Fetterman does not meet those standards. Yet, at least he is from Pennsylvania.



The US Senate is going to crap.
I never knew much about Oz other than he had a TV program that I never watched. Even if he's a charlatan, Fetterman is just as bad.

Keep in mind that Hillary wasn't from New York when she became senator. Pretty much the same thing - move into a district and run for office. To her credit, she still lives there.

He is a carpet bagger. But there have been lots of them. He got his TV start because of Oprah. I believe she featured him and Dr. Phil on her TV show and they spun off into their own shows. One thing I differ with him on is he big on believing that talking to the dead through mediums is possible.

Dr. Oz Says Psychic John Edward "Changed My Life"

Maybe if he wins he can get John Edward to channel Abe Lincoln.

Pennsylvania-Senate
22 Days to Election (2016 to 2020) Polls Underestimated GOP by 5.6
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ep...rman-7695.html

Polls which underestimated Rep. support in the past doesn't necessarily mean they will do so in 2022. However, I suspect they will.

My guess is the races which we usually discuss (AZ GA and PA) will be very close and have been since summer.

Oz is as plastic as Trump—
No wonder they like each other
But the media is letting Oz get away with so many untruths…

The final polling was overall 1.2% for Biden. Polls that were taken the last 3 days or so. That is more relevant than 22 days out. But regarding the senate race in PA. Lets see how the polls look end of the month.

It's truly mindboggling. I'd hope that every stroke victim who is clearly limited as Fetterman is would (1) be honest about things (as Fetterman has not) and (2) have the decency to withdraw from the campaign as they cannot be as effective on the job as they'd like. Demanding full representation and capability isn't ableist.
