I’ve had to drive pretty far to see Mastriano signs. No signs at the Trump house and no signs at the few with Oz.

There are a bunch of Mastriano signs on some rental property about a ten minute walk from me, which is no surprise.

The road divider where I saw a bunch of GOP candidate signs ahead of the primary is conspicuously empty, if that makes you feel better. I think most of the chuds here were pulling for Barletta in the governor race because he was the most pro-cop and they all decided he was the most Italian?

They are here and there, and one dude with a giant Mastriano sign in one of the main line suburbs, but it seems telling that the trump superfans rarely have any doug signs


and 0 Oz signs that haven't been sadly staked in the lawns of abandoned strip malls

I'm in the Warminster area of Bucks County and I have seen giant Mastriano and Oz signs in front of the local gun stores, intersections, and areas of strip malls. In the neighborhoods there doesn't seem to be a lot of campaign signs in general which I don't know what that means. A guy who lives in my neighborhood who flys a Trump flag only has an Oz sign on his yard. Also no Fitzpatrick signs, but he is basically unopposed so why bother campaigning. Maybe campaign signs are on the way out?

it's probably kind of telling that the interview itself aired hours ago and the worst clip they could pull from it is
https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1579966838150152192?cxt=HHwWgICyjfzdle0rAAAAhe's got i think a decent response in interviews where's he's like 'see, i'm fine but here's an example of how the stroke makes my words come out wrong sometimes' and then pivots into how it's given himgreater understanding of the issues people with illnesses have blah blah blah, dunno if he can pull it off in a debate where you've gotte ba quick on your (mental) feet tho lol



on the one hand it feels like the republicans are overmilking it if he's gonna be mostly fine but have some trouble with words that he explains sympathetically while Oz does a 'hurr durr me john fetterman me have brain problem' routine, but otoh maybe he gets mad or upset and then collapses into a heap. onlt two weeks until we find out!

This is all entirely moot, dead people have won elections in the United States before
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_United_States_Senate_election_in_Missouri

If Fetterman wins and he can't serve, the governor replaces him, it's simple as that. Telling voters that they need to vote for the 51st Senate vote to ban abortion because the other guy slurs his words a little is some dumb poo poo.

yeah lol i'm actually p sure now that the debate will be a loving disaster even if he doesn't put a foot wrong, because the national lib media response to theat interview was that just the act of using a cc machine to compensate for an auditory processing disability is itself Troubling, So Troubling, do voters really want someone like that representing them, so the post-debate narrative's already pre-written

I think you're confusing why someone might be reticent to vote for this guy. "Slurring his words" and having to use a CC machine may be a symptom of cognitive decline or impairment following a stroke. It's not the actual fact that he's slurring his words, it's the fact that he may not have all his mental abilities.

What you're doing is watching the "good morning, Sunday morning" video and saying that it'd be silly not to vote for Pelosi just because she "mis-spoke in an interview." Or you're watching the Joe Biden videos and saying he has a stutter. You're trying to highlight the symptoms, diminish the actual medical issue going on, and criticize people worried about the medical issue by saying they'd have to be insane to worry about the symptoms.

If Fetterman can’t serve, the governor (likely Shapiro) replaces him with someone who can and will vote the same way. This idea that people need to vote for the guy who’s going to be the 51st vote for a national abortion ban because this guy has cognitive problems is dumb as gently caress and it’s sad that this is the best angle Oz has.

no actually what I'M doing is saying that at least one person, one american, who is both pro-choice and would rather vote for Dr. Oz because Fetterman slurs his words a little. because we are an insane country and 1/3 of the people who vote decide who they're gonna vote for within 12 hours of the election

This is the most important election of our lifetime. You have to get out there and VOTE as hard as you can for the racist centrist democrat who just had a stroke.
