Top Gun Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 On 8/16/2022 at 11:54 AM, Master-Debater131 said: The PA race may be one of the most interesting in the country now. Fetterman was the single strongest candidate Democrats had in the entire nation before his stroke. Oz is a horrible candidate who is running at the same time as a uniquely dangerous GOP nominee for Gov. Normally this should be an easy pickup for Democrats. But you may notice I said that Fetterman was the strongest candidate. His stroke has clearly knocked him down a lot. The videos from his last campaign even are not great and people are openly questioning if he is healthy enough to campaign and then serve for 6 years. Ive been saying for a while that I think PA goes Democrat, but now Im not so sure. Fettermans progress is really great, but is it good enough to convince voters to go for him? I really don't see how this holds up at all. Fetterman's health may be a concern for some people, but the two candidates are so diametrically opposed in personality and viewpoints that what kind of prospectived voter is going to sit there and say, "Well, I like Fetterman's positions, but he had a stroke, so I'm going with that nutjob Oz"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they will vote Oz, they may not vote at all. I still expect Fetterman to win, likely in a walk, but his health issues absolutely scrambled things a bit. It happens in any race where they are potential health issues. Remember all those people asking if McCain was healthy enough? Its absolutely a legitimate question. Theres a poll that the GOP released today showing Fetterman up 18, so even if a decent number of people think his health issues are enough to note vote for him hes very likely going to win.

Top Gun Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Yeah, there's a major difference between being 1 in 100/435 with no particular individual power, and being the guy that's always in the spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your correct that it doesnt usually matter in other races, like House races, but it absolutely matters for Senate races. Most people cant tell you who their Rep is, but a huge chunk can name their Senator. Its just a much higher profile position, and that brings extra scrutiny.

If she really wanted to do something she would shut up and help the Lincoln Project raise money from increasingly irrelevant people like Karl Rove. Of course, last night also showed that money cannot make up for unpopular positions. Cheney had $15 million in cash and spent $7.75 of it. Harriet Hageman raised $4 million and spent $3 million. Harriet Hageman was outspent 2:1 and beat Liz Cheney 2:1. Policy and actions matter to GOP primary voters. It will literally be a suicide mission and a waste of cash. Honestly, I feel bad for her if she believes the weapons-grade cringe she says. That is a serious divergence from reality, maybe she needs to move to Colorado and "medicate" for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I meant a kamikaze run in the general, not in the primary.

It should also be mentioned that the Democrats have been actively attack ads against the non-MAGA/QAnon folks so the Dems will be up against much more radical, unpalatable candidates. It's a huge gamble in my opinion. But yeah that also worked against Cheney and other GOP incumbents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorpat Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 In targeted races, yeah. But I don't believe the Dems were running any adds against her in her race. There'd be no point because there are like ten Democrats in Wyoming and half changed their registration to prop her up in her race. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
