[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

The NRSC is getting increasingly irritated with Oz.

This one is resonating with the normies. I was speaking to my mom, who obv is not on Twitter, telling her how Fetterman has been dunking on Oz for different things. And she said, "oh did you see that Wizard of Oz ad? That was good."

All of it is clearly breaking through to average folks one way or another

So they aired this entire 142 second long ad on TV, and people watched it all? That's amazing.

The primary place to watch it is facebook, it's pretty viral on there.

[Mr. Smith]

The best strategy against Fetterman would be to try and paint him as an out-of-touch phony who is more interested in being a celebrity than a politician... too bad for the Republicans that this strategy doesn't work when your nominee is a literal out-of-touch phony celebrity.

Worked in 2016.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I was looking at the ads Dr. Oz was coming up with. Things like this were at or near the top of the results.
Most comments are hostile, many reference New Jersey, and some make notice of how he's handled the gun.

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Donald Trump have very different appeals.

As in Trump appeals to Ww/oC voters while Oz appeals to nobody.

Notice too how they cut the clip of him shooting to look like he actually made it lol.

I didn't notice that the first time. Now that you point that out...yeah...
On a sidenote...notice how the ad is very...uh, rural in how its set. No houses even, just grass and fields.
Considering who votes Republican these days...

And the truck in the background. Republicans like big manly vehicles.

Bragging about an endorsement from Ted Nugent?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

FWIW (probably not much, but still an interesting observation) I've seen multiple Mastriano signs in the rural parts of the state and multiple Shapiro and Fetterman signs in the suburbs and cities (quite a few in rural parts as well). I have yet to see a single Dr. Oz sign.

ProgressiveModerate was referencing how they showed the gun being fired.

Yeah, I got that.

Does anyone know which third parties/independents got/will get ballot access?

Nice Ad but using John Oliver, the epitome of smug foregin liberal is a strange choice.

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Does anyone know which third parties/independents got/will get ballot access?

The Libertarians, Constitution, and a GOP-affiliated independent as opposed to one Green.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

We shouldn't be surprised by Fetterman and Shapiro winning because the tag team Casey and Wolf won by double digits in 2014 and eventhough polls have Trump leading Biden in PA Trump won't win PA with Bob Casey on the ballot in 24

They love to poll Prez races that's 2 yrs away, but clearly gas prices going down and zDobbs are helpful

Yep, have not seen a single Oz sign anywhere, to the point of I'm not even sure if they're being made.

Again, people seem to really be underestimating how bad the Oz campaign is right now. Who is his constituency among the GOP electorate? Other than just pure "vote red no matter what" folks? Sure, there are a lot of them, but it's still not enough to win the state by far.

[wbrocks67]

"Republican Party insiders are increasingly frustrated with what they perceive as a certain laissez-faire attitude from the poorly-polling G.O.P. Senate candidate, who has spent nearly as much time on vacation as on the campaign trail."
