Fetterman was one of the most impressive spokesmen for the democrats during the 2020 ballot count - IMO. He is being judged based on his stroke.
Hobbs will win. They may call it for her later tonight.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 7:38 pm Still a lot of votes to be counted, but somehow, Katie Hobbs, one of the most timid, least charismatic, political candidates out there, is steadily pulling away from Kari Lake, a charismatic MAGA piece of trash who had been considered a rising Republican star.

Even Democrats criticized Hobbs and her supposedly incompetent campaign, especially her decision to avoid a debate, for which Lake criticized her for weeks on end.
Just keeping the race close is impressive. But if Hobbs actually wins? Wow.

I went to a small strategy fundraiser for him, pre-run. I liked him, figured he'd be left of me but reasonable, understood business etc...but then he introduced to the group his top campaign strategist who I knew was one of the worst, race-baiting African American political advisors, more grifter than anything else...I had to tell him that I couldn't support him if he was going down that rathole.Brooklyn wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 10:54 am another possible reason why Dr Odd lost in Pennsylvania:

The Odd one didn't realize he was referring to a Jersey shop in Pennsylvania. What a dummy!
Bengur definitely knows what crudite is, total BS to say he didn't. I don't like his act, and it's indeed an act, on the Young Turks. The gal seems much sharper and less of a jerk, though she dips her toe in jerk-ness too. But Bengur goes all-in.
But yeah, Fetterman nailed Oz with that totally self-owned gaffe video. Perfectly showed the contrast.
Good joke stupid people piling on like their cool. + for fetterman for nailing the delivery, - for people who act like smug jerks.
Don’t worry. If Fetterman’s health doesn’t permit him to continue to serve, he can resign, and Governor Shapiro can appoint Larry Krasner as his replacement. I’m sure you’ll like him better.elonmuskrockefeller wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 7:54 pm It's simply amazing that a person like John Fetterman is a senator.
He is painfully dumb, well before a stroke. His accomplishments to date are....well, absolutely nothing. He lived off of his parents til 50. His wife is a self declared socialist. His tenure as a mayor (his first job) was an unmitigated disaster.
You can say a ton of things about Oz, but dumb isn't one. He likely would have been much less of an attention hog than some feared. I obviously would have preferred David McCormick, someone I've met several times, a very impressive person. And I doubt Oz would have stayed past one term. But Oz at the very least embraces constitutional law and norms, something Democrats apparently are fast tossing overboard in their bizarre embrace of power for power's sake. What a spectacle.
Fetterman is an absolute embarrassment, for everyone, including those who swear he isn't the dolt he clearly is. It will be painful watching this overgrown lurch stumble his phraseology for six years. He won't know what he's voting for or against, any more than a memory care patient with advanced dementia understands what they're eating day to day.
God help us, man. What an unmitigated disaster.
... Wisconsin, Johnson had a color advantage. Look at the ads Johnson was running, It was all he talked about.

stupid and is a token to do the bidding of his superiors
Ever been around Sayre or Mansfield PA? I once financed a Kmart anchored strip mall in a town called Oil City. Now the center is anchored by tumbleweeds and the town is called anachronistic.ardilla secreta wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 9:28 pm I used to live in Pennsylvania but knew hardly anything about Fetterman except he looked like something from a federal penitentiary. It wasn’t until a few days ago that I found out he went to Albright then got a MBA from UConn and a maters in Public Policy from Harvard which would seem to serve him well in politics. Perhaps some don’t like him because he became a Big Brother to a boy whose mother was dying of AIDS. He’s not exactly my idea of a model candidate, but at least he’s a Pennsylvanian.
One thing I know is that this election proves PA is still Pennsyltucky. Fetterman wins most of the major population centers Philadelphia Co. isn’t interested in any of Oz’s nonsense giving him a measly 16%. Smacked down in Pittsburgh too.
