Frankly, Oz's campaign thus far is making him look like a complete loser. And voters don't like losers.

Dr. Oz and wife thought they'd hung up — got caught raging against "f**king girl reporter"

This is months old; I was about to applaud some good news, at long last, for the Oz campaign.

People are finally realizing that more than half of politics is optics? I kept saying a year ago that Fetterman was an excellent candidate who doesn’t fit the generic D liberal arts LatinX oat milk latte mold.

The average “swing” voter is a moron who makes choices based off gut feelings and likability.

I really don’t get where people get the idea that running an online campaign on Twitter is going to be successful.

Twitter isn’t real life, even if it holds a dangerously high amount of influence on our actual politics on occasion.

Yeah, he's coming across as an effete beta.

Trump let his celebrity worship get in the way of a sensible endorsement. Barnette would've kept things close and is also more MAGA.

[SnowLabrador]

I think Oz wins by 4-5 points based on the national environment based on Republican voters holding their noses for him. No poll can convince me otherwise; I'll believe Fetterman winning when I see it. Oz's issues won't matter; all swing voters care about is MUH GAS PRICES!

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Fetterman is D's 50 the seat after AZ, NV a d NH and then we go to GA, WI, OH and NC D's are tied or leading if Fetterman wins we are guaranteed a D seat that's why Rs are up and arms about PA they're not gonna win 54 Senate seats

Whom watches Dr Oz anyways but Oprah Winfrey fans and most of them are Ds anyway like my females on my family, he is old news by now

Rs act like Judge Judy or Dr Phil or Oprah are running as Rs, the View Sunny, Whoopi, Ana Navarro and Joy already said it's no big deal Oz is running

we should change the title of this thread. my suggestion would be The Yinzer of Oz

Not really. Fetterman ran this exact same style of campaign in the primary (albeit with less overt attacks on Lamb) and won with over 60% of the vote. Putting his health aside, it's also 4 and a half months out, when people are barely paying attention.

This reads like more sour grapes from Lamb supporters. Most Fetterman supporters (aside from myself) have moved on. Kenyatta supporters have moved on. Only one candidate 's baseis bitter. Only one candidate's base hasn't moved on. Only one candidate's supporters are concern trolling.

They aren't concerned about Fetterman. They're bitter we rejected their ideology.

You're acting as if Fetterman is only running an online campaign. He's running both.

Please don’t lump all Lamb supporters together.  Most of us are now (I assume) strongly on board with Fetterman.  It just seems to be a few low-level establishment hacks and internet randos who aren’t accepting the results.

Yeah I was just about to edit something in to that effect but I was out.

Hell, you and wbrocks were probably the two biggest Lamb defenders during the primary and you two moved on. The neolibs are still coping tho

Well, these sorts of things are generally a good test of who is full of it regarding party unity and who means "party unity but only if my person wins."

I guess Fetterman or Shapiro are running internal Civiqs polls. I've now been polled 4 times for PA races but none of them are public from what I can find.

Civiqs is a Republican firm; it’s probably some sort of internal tracking poll for a Republican campaign

If nothing else, this race promises to be highly entertaining and to produce some high-quality memes in the process.

[ProgressiveModerate]

I feel like Fetterman would probably roast/destroy Oz in a debate pretty well, but again, how much that actually translates to votes is yet to be seen.

Also canidates twitters is usually only for the election nerds like us.

The thing is, Oz's twitter/social media seems like a direct extension of him and how he acts on the trail. He comes off seriously out of touch in person, and his social media just kinda proves that. So yes, the debates will be interesting for sure.

I get very, very strong Jeb 2016 vibes from Oz. Fetterman will emasculate him on the debate stage like Trump did Jeb.

Nobody wants to vote for a beta male.

D's are favored in WI, MI, PA anyways from the beginning it's a blue wall Map , just because it's a Midterm doesn't mean it's 2010 all the time or 1994

[Senator Incitatus]

This may become a case where Fetterman's odds go up as the environment worsens for Democrats, since the possibility of this seat deciding control of the Senate is really the main thing buoying Oz. I don't see Pennsylvania voters preferring him over Fetterman on a personal level.
