Oz has quite literally gone out of his way at every turn to make himself look out of touch and not like a real Pennsylvanian. At some point you just have to put the blame on him

[GeorgiaModerate]

On the downside, the Phillies lost the World Series which will surely leave everyone angry at the party in power, much like the Indians in 2016.

If it makes any difference, *I'm* happy.  

Therefore you should vote for Fetterman.

Definitely sounds like someone who is feeling good about the state of the race in PA!

I’m at a Shapiro/Fetterman rally in Bucks County now and the energy is great. Ashley Ehasz spoke and boy is she special. I doubt she wins but she would be an incredible Congresswoman.

I’m at a Shapiro/Fetterman rally in Bucks County now and the energy is great. Ashley Ehasz spoke and boy is she special. I doubt she wins but she would be an incredible Congresswoman.

Glad they're doing this rally tonight too. Bucks is probably ground zero for any possible ticket splitting, so better to be safe than sorry in a place like that.

I was canvassing today close in the Montco burbs for a bit and the one volunteer said they were seeing some Shapiro/Oz crossover voting. This area though is known to have ancestral Republicans though, so not really sure if they were the type of voters who are typically Republican and are only giving Shapiro a chance because Mastriano is too crazy, or they're legit closer to Democratic at this point and not a fan of Fetterman.

Still see lots more Shapiro/Fetterman signs on peoples actual lawns though. Any lawn that has Mastriano also has Oz. The GOP signs have definitely ramped up on public property throughout the county, but not as much on peoples own yards.

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!

[wbrocks67]

Rallies at the very least are a good way to spread your message, because everyone that goes to the rally may post on social media, talk about it with friends, etc. Having a table event with 10 people there, none of which are voters, does pretty much nothing for the campaign at this point in terms of voter outreach?

[soundchaser]

Private dinners like that are usually a high-ticket fundraiser. It’s at the very least a WEIRD choice this late in the campaign.

Fox News and people who believe that John Fetterman is physically unwell are mishearing a viral video of Fetterman saying “I run on Roe v. Wade. Oz celebrates the demise of Roe v. Wade.”

God, truly the worst. You can literally hear him say "Oz" and not "I." That sh** should be taken down for misinformation.

It could be under the new Kathy Griffin impersonation rule as Benny Johnson is impersonating an actual journalist.

Gaslighting is all they're good at, what did you expect?

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

[SnowLabrador]

The reason polls show Lamb ahead in a hypothetical matchup against Oz is because he’s not the one the GOP spent the last 6 months attacking. Yes, he might be doing marginally better, and that could be enough depending on how close this race ends up being. But the race wasn’t lost the instant Fetterman won the primary, and it wouldn’t have been won the instant Lamb became the nominee.

That being said, I do agree that Fetterman should not have debated.

[jamestroll]

FOR THE 678TH TIME,

WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE LAMB WOULD HAVE WON AND WE NEVER WILL!

THIS HAPPENS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TIME A CANDIDATE LOSES

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".

For what it's worth, I'm feeling pretty optimistic that Shapiro will drag Fetterman over the finish line. My prediction has always been Fetterman +2 and that feels about right at this point.

When you are justifying your predictions on coattails…it’s not happening.

I don’t see any reason Lamb would or should be the replacement nominee. More likely they would find a stronger candidate capable of generating enthusiasm among the large majority who voted for Fetterman, presumably with Fetterman’s own consent.

Who would that have been? Cartwright?
