My assumption, at the time, was that he didn’t think he would be nominated. Just another way to be in the news.
Fetterman has 3 college degrees, including a masters in public policy from Harvard. For someone running for the U.S. Senate I would take Fetterman’s Harvard degree over Oz’s Harvard degree. Until 6-months ago, Fetterman was a charismatic public speaker. Yesterday, he was courageous enough to let people see the health problem that he is recovering from. Maybe that decision will cost him the election. Oz was terrible in the debate. He would have lost to an empty chair. However, he wasn’t debating against an empty chair. Oz’s remark that the decision to have an abortion should be made by the pregnant woman, her doctor and her local politician was one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in a long time, barely edging out DeSantis’s obnoxious remark at his debate that the only old donkey he is going to retire is Charlie Crist. That should play well with the senior citizens in Florida who are still undecided as to who to vote for for governor.
For the Repubs to gain 4 seats, 4 incumbent Dems have to lose. Outside of Warnock, which other 3 Dems do you think will lose?
DeSantis could have stood on that stage and spoken in gibberish, and he'd still win. But I did get a laugh out of him looking like a coked-up, malfunctioning robot when Crist asked him if he was going to serve four years if reelected.
DeSantis is going to win, and the debate was not going to change much, but Crist was terrible. He should have hammered DeSantis on not expanding Medicaid. He was unprepared when DeSantis pointed out how well Florida’s 4th graders did on the national testing to note how poorly the 8th graders in Florida did on the national testing. Nevertheless, he would have been a good counterforce to the out of control Flirida legislature, plus he could have pardoned the former felons who should be allowed to vote.
Interesting, Fetterman has a big advantage with female voters probably due to abortion issue. Time to take away women’s right to vote!……. I kid, I kid. That was for Lawyer Gator! Wanted to get his juices flowing!
I don’t really know how we should view this poll, but 538 gives Insider Advantage a “B” rating with a 1.1 pt democratic bias historically. Pollster Ratings
As Bonier pointed out, it's a bad sample. And that particular pollster picked Trump to win PA in 2020.
