Budd just got help here in North Carolina.

The Green Party will be on the ballot to drain away votes from Beasley.

Please consider indulging us a bit more then precisely on what exactly is the inside scoop, in other words the general consensus of most PA residents against Dr. Oz right now, i.e. that the average Joe outside PA is still probably not aware of.

And is it more or less just isolated to just your commonwealth?

Noteworthy to watch is if Oz runs his campaign much like Youngkin did last year in Virginia. Add your thoughts on that assuming that approach takes shape too.

Really man, what gives? Enlighten us, I and probably others on this forum ideally want to be fully informed.

P.S. Many of us out of state people nationally enjoyed much of Mehmet show’s content. Oz is/was probably beloved by millions of people on both sides of the political isle, including myself.

Also according to ratings his syndicated show did remarkably well over an extended period of time (September 2009 - January 2022).

And that accomplishment includes many urban areas across America including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

124

If Oz remains behind in the polls, don’t expect any MAGA rally with Trump** in attendance. He won’t want to appear (both figuratively and literally) to be backing a loser candidate.

Trump** has an established history of dropping supporters and stabbing them in the back. Just look at his administration.

I used to watch FOX channel 10 evening news back in 2015 and 2016, but I was never really that impressed with Lake as a newscaster there. I will be voting for Hobbs for Governor, and I am confident that she will win Maricopa County. I am worried though that Lake will get a very strong turnout for her in Pinal County, and Yuvapai and Mohave Counties.

I am also voting for Kelly, and I am more confident in Kelly winning Arizona than I am in Hobbs winning this state.

It’s simple.

He’s a carpetbagger that isn’t even trying to pretend he lives here (for example, he got the name of the town listed as his “PA address” incorrect…and it’s a mistake only someone not from here would make).

Pennsylvanians don’t like carpetbaggers.

Plus Fetterman has a lot of cross-party appeal regardless of some of his more liberal stances. And he is mot definitely from here.

127

Yada yada, you seem to be denying reality?

The reality of the situation is currently a President Trump endorsement is coveted, and probably one of epic good proportion in the history of the Republic.

If you are not making this narrative like stuff up out of thin air, please cite previous examples of other past candidates that ultimately lost in PA under similar circumstances (moving into the Commonwealth just prior to declaring their candidacy)…

P.S. Duly noted you still choose not addressing the facts presented that Oz rocked the nation in TV ratings of especially urban areas across America including the City of Brotherly Love. And again, that kind of admiration figures logically to favor the beloved Mehmet Oz in November…

129

TV ratings for his show mean votes in November?

Over a local candidate who is well-known and admired in the state?

Um…OK.

That Maricopa prediction of yours is not a biggie, as both camps have a plan of attack to victory baking into the equation what a blue area Phoenix is currently.

And I appreciate your acknowledgment of concern elsewhere for the Dems.

Noteworthy is Kari Lake was a top broadcaster on KSAZ -TV for 22 years making her popular with so many other residents there.

Unrelated is the last name Hobbs. Most of us get a charge by “Roy” Hobbs played by Redford as a fictional character in the successful baseball movie “The Natural.”

Totally trustworthy dems tried ever dirty trick in the book to keep him off the ballot and it’s not over yet, they are still trying in one high pop county forget which.

Backed by the GOP.

Pretty sneaky trick they are pulling.

133

Why not?

Mehmet has a very soothing feel good personality to cling too.

And unlike Wolf he has nothing to do with how this current administration has underperformed.

Imagine how many people remain furious locked down much of the time the past 2+ years. And for what?

Just maybe people are also fed up with Fetterman too, who is seemingly joined at the hip with the current governor?

Add to that murders trending higher at an epic record pace in Philadelphia this year.

So you for one really believe the wound’s inflicted here already will not adversely impact the race for Fetterman.

My contention is many people are still upset with both of these Dem’s. So much so, Fetterman might very well pay the ultimate price at the ballot box.

We’ll see soon enough…

Yep.

I think it is stupid. I have said so on this very board.

Pretty amoral too - if you take the left at their word that these people are insurrectionists/bigots/white supremacy enablers, etc. Who would donate a dime to such candidates ?

With all that, he’s leading by double digits.

Oz is not gonna win except by a miracle.

Imagine how many of the pollsters are likely in on this…
