Are you really going to tell me with a straight face that the first guy is more in touch with the average Pennsylvanian or whatever? Costello could win but it won't be because he successfully paints Fetterman as a coastal elitist lol

[Progressive Pessimist]

I know that Wawa is a staple of Pennsylvania but is Costello's entire campaign going to be nothing but references to the store? How embarrassing if so.

Remember he's still undefined, they'll be running ads in WWC communities slamming him for being pro-open borders, woke and from a rich family allowing with accusing him of dishoney in his image

Not wearing a suit doesn't make you in touch.

[Skunk]

A lobbyist dressing up as a baseball player to try and present himself as a "common man" sounds like a rejected Veep joke.

Fetterman would probably lose and the Republican nominee's campaign is almost certain to be hard-hitting whether or not that happens.

However, the nominee is not going to be Costello. He is amongst the least capable to pull off a populist campaign, being an anti-Trump lobbyist who backed down from a tough electoral fight. Amongst moderate Republicans, he is lacking the union support Brian Fitzpatrick enjoys and his forays into the culture war have seemed pretty inept so far.

He may have significant appeal amongst suburban ancestral Republicans for other reasons, but that's not where this kind of rhetoric tends to bear fruit.

He has a reputation among partisan democrats, nobody else knows who he is beyond the funny looking guy they sometimes see near tom wolf.

This ad is just so weird. Like it’s just the two pictures and it looks like the captions got swapped. Like seriously even the word play works better in reverse. Common Man Fetterman vs Coastal Elite Costello.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I won't understand America if Costello wins this race...

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Lol Fetterman will win this race, even if Rs take Gov race, Fetterman does well in Western PA like Bob Casey

And who exactly knows who Ryan Costello is besides his former constituents, who sent him running in fear into a lobbying job?

The entire point of this ad is to align Costello with Wawa (staple of southeastern PA/most of NJ) and align Fetterman with Sheetz (staple of western PA) to damage Fetterman in the Philadelphia suburbs. The fonts/branding used are the fonts/branding of the respective stores. It's a pretty toothless and overall dumb idea.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I know this is pretty superficial, but is it just me or does Costello have a very dopey-looking facial expression in almost every picture he’s in?

I'm sorry but I'm not gonna trust someone named LiberalHack to have really astute opinions on working class aesthetics.

But, Ryan Costello is not gonna be the GOP nominee anyway lol

Pollster is correct on all levels.

As someone who is from SEPA/Philly burbs/Philly, this ad is just embarrassing and so cringe. But it's Costello, who used to be my rep back home before redistricting, and he's always been that way. He's the worst (+ Pat Toomey)

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Wawa is superior to Sheetz. They have better sandwiches and coffee selections. But Fetterman is the better man.

and if anything, people here know how to spot a cringe moment when they see one. And I'm pretty sure most people see right thru Costello
