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

[Joe Republic]

When we're talking about a 'mansion in New Jersey', let's be very clear exactly what we're talking about:



Real man of the people here, folks.  (Not that that kind of thing ever mattered to the typical Trump supporter.)

People from outside PA don't seem to understand the whole PA-NJ thing. You just wouldn't get it unless you lived here. This attack would not work if Oz was from any of the 48 other states (or 95% not nearly enough). It's just different.

I get it.  Imagine if CCM or Mark Kelly were running against some celebrity Republican who was known for living in a huge mansion in Beverly Hills.  "People from [neighboring state] suck!!" is a fairly universal thing.

The biggest thing that struck me about that Parks & Rec ad is that the show was making fun of polished career politicians whose only talent is to look handsome in a suit and issue vapid soundbites.  I mean, does that truly describe Fetterman?

Oooh they mad

Does hawking snake oil remedies on Oprah Winfrey's TV show count as a 'real job'?

He used to weigh over 400 pounds as recently as 2017, and lost 148 pounds over the following year during his Lt Gov campaign.




And he didn't even have to buy any fake diet pills he saw on some huckster's show on TV!

Wasn't the Wegner's crudité ad from several months ago, well before the primary?  Why is it suddenly blowing up now?

Edit: Yes, it was on April 5th.

Yep, it looks like umichvoter on Twitter randomly found it and posted it, and then it went viral. I've been locked into this race and never saw the original in April, so I assume most didn't either and just saw it for the first time this week.

I'm trying to recall where the heck I saw it back then, as it apparently was never posted in this thread.

The video of Oz in Vietnam was from 2019.

It's all fair game.  Just wanted to clarify that he's not on a vacation abroad in the middle of his 2022 campaign (though let's be honest, it would probably be better for his poll numbers if he took the rest of the campaign off entirely).
