He's Carl from "Sling Blade", without the morality.

are there reasons you think so? if there are, are you holding Oz to a double standard, or is HE the only one that possesses those things or qualities that have you seeing him as the worst candidate?

i do not understand how he so quickly led in the polls. was it based on personality, his vs. Oz's?

have we voters yet learned we are NOT getting a saint elected - who has been so perfect? even obama chose to imbibe in cocaine - an illegal substance, the sell and purchase of which had done incredible damage to a lot of black communities in urban america from the 80s to the 2000s.

really - HAVE we had mr. or mrs. perfection ever? ANYONE who has no skeletons in their closet, or who never backtracked on policy (eg. fracking)?

so im befuddled why so many were automatically FOR Fetters. Oz, in my view, has experience in business and i think that goes a long way in formulating policy to grow the economy.

most of the former Fetterman would-be voters (the polls indicate a sizeable shift to Oz) were NOT for Fetters solely on the abortion issue. so why, then?

Because PA has become a weak and entitled blue state, folks defend and enable criminals, they support raising taxes, they endorse his low standards and terrible resume, they think he’s an every man, etc…and Fetterman represents that perfectly…though chasing an unarmed black man with a shotgun and vandalizing a black owned business and getting a free pass for it is very interesting.

Looks like Democrats have a 4 MILLION vote lead over GOP in early voting at this moment.
And Democrats in 2022 are performing at 3 points higher than in 2020.

If this trend continues and there’s no GOP shenanigans, hopefully we’ll get a real majority this time.

We're not a blue state. We're a purple state. We voted for Trump in 2016. We have a ton of conservatives in this state everywhere outside of either Allegheny County or Greater Philadelphia. PA conservatives almost all turn out to vote. PA liberals turn out to vote if they feel like it or if they can remember to.

You're forgetting almost all mail-in votes are from Democrats. Almost all Republicans vote in person.

'I celebrate the demise of Roe v. Wade': Stroke victim John Fetterman mangles his words yet AGAIN as he appears to say he is against abortion at Senate race rally with Biden and Obama

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...oe-v-Wade.html

"Pennsylvania Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman and stroke victim mangled his words yet again on the campaign trail, accidentally saying he was against abortion.

'I run on Roe v. Wade. I celebrate the demise of Roe v. Wade,' he said.

Fetterman, who is going head-to-head with celebrity doctor Dr. Mehmet Oz, may well have been trying to say his opponent 'celebrates the demise of Roe v. Wade.'"
