PA-SN 2022 megathread: Shrek vs. The Wizard of Oz

[Crackerjack McJohnson]

Not everyone needs to do big rallies, but *this* is your Bucks County event two days before the election?!

I know you want to feel optimistic and all but rallies and all that stuff don’t matter anymore.  Biden didn’t leave his rumpus room and won 2020 election pretty easy all said and done.  Oz and Fettermen is gonna be one of those “into the weekend” races where CNN gets every penny out of their election graphics.  In a sane world they’d make Wolf Blitzer stay on his shift until every race is called with only salisbuy steak from the CNN cafeteria to sustain him.  I’m sick of that guy!

hate to be that guy, but did Fetterman cost Dem's the senate by not dropping out after his stroke? This seat was so winnable, Oz is near unelectable, but then Fetterman's ego messed it all up.

I really don’t think that’s fair. No one, including Fetterman, could have known how his recovery would go at the time. The real mistake was doing the debate. Better to just take the hit of “cowardice.”

I think it’s fair. Lamb seemed like the establishment type that midterms tend to resent but however in this case Lamb would be well ahead IMO

Again - I cannot believe the utter arrogance that it takes to say Lambchin would have won the general after he lost the primary by 30 points.

You don't see me acting this childish with Hassan or Pappas. I'm not fans of either of them, but I'm not going into threads weekly concern trolling about them. You don't see me bringing up Pappas lying about weed and student debt, and you don't see me pearl-clutching about how a vote 2 years ago will hurt Hassan now. You don't see me talking about a bunch of silent leftists who would sweep her over the finish line. In reality, the Sawx vote does not exist in New Hampshire.

This man got his ass beat in the primary and centrists still want to come on and advocate for their dogsh*t candidate weekly. And it's not even from people from the primary. These dead-enders weren't even there for him then! I didn't hear them a single peep from the #CenterOrBust crowd until Fetterman had long won the primary. I wasn't getting into debates with Alben or GMac or whoever. They were dead silent, even when Fetterman first had his stroke. They only struck when the progressive nominee looked wounded. When the fighting was actually happening, these people were nowhere to be found.

Because deep down, they know their candidate would have lost the primary. They know he's a bad campaigner. Because to these people bringing up Conor Lamb, six years of Senator Oz is an acceptable sacrifice to keep painting us as "unelectable".

I agree with this.  If Connor Lamb is such a great choice as a candidate then why did he lose so badly???  Why is it a systematic failure or the voters' fault when the center-candidate doesn't do well but when it's someone like Fetterman it's like... some Starbucks' kid's fault for having lefty views.  I also agree with "Senator Oz is a worthy sacrifice".  Centerist Democrats love to get their thoughts and views from TV and wasn't Dr. Oz on the View for a long time?  You'd think they'd like him.  Maybe he's not even a sacrifice.  Maybe they liked his elixirs and fat-reducing shakes.  

Anyway the commercials have to STOP!  I was watching Philiies World Series the other night and the commercials were Oz > Fetterman > OZ > Fetterman all night.  My buddy brought a friend from Long Island who is a big big time Republican and it got him going something awful it's like... JUST WATCH THE GAME, MAN.
