Absolutely...

Oz and McCormick are terrible.... Don’t need more Bush Era Rinos or Used Car salesman fakers in the Senate.

Barnette winning this primary is as big a middle finger to the GOPe in the state of PA as Trump was to the national party...

Oz and McCormick are so week that in spite of spending combined something like 50 or 60 Million between their direct spending and surrogates on ads, she is right there with them after really just 2 debate appearances and less than $150k spent on TV advertising. That’s all the proof anyone should need to know about how bad these two are, even among GOP voters they haver no measurable support.. 20% or so each a week from the election.

Fetterman will eat them for breakfast and crap them out by lunch... Only chance GOP has to win with either of them as the nominee is just whether the climate is such that a ham sandwich would win as long as it has an R... which may be the case this fall, but otherwise, neither one will do well.. they both are little more than a pro forma republican candidate in this race, AT BEST.

Barnette certainly is no shoe in, but the criticisms of her being untested etc, well that’s true of Oz and McCormick too... She won’t likely get anything but token support from the party if she is the nominee, so to win she’ll have to get the grass roots behind her, but it sure looks like she’s managed to get the beginning of that kind of rally behind her.

I hope she can pull off the upset next tuesday, the GOP of Pa needs to realize we are done with their pathetic candidates... I won’t hold my nose and pull the leaver to put another globalist/GOPe/RINO in the Senate... Did that enough with Specter, Santorum and Toomey, won’t do it any longer.

Ace said it better than I could, so I'm just posting his comment here:

I'm not sure that an "Ultra-MAGA" type is the right fit for Pennsylvania, but this is probably the right time to gamble, given that the alternatives are poor. The rule that we should vote for "the most conservative candidate who can win" presupposes that we are voting for a conservative in the first place, after all. I don't know that McCormick or Oz satisfy that prerequisite. There is simply no point electing yet another Establishment liberal to the Senate. They are Democrats in all but name. Yes, they will vote for Mitch McConnell's eternal agenda of corporate tax cuts but I'm quite sure I no longer give a shit about Mitch McConnell's eternal agenda of corporate tax cuts.

With the other two choices on the ballot, who cares if she can win?  Maybe time to send a message to the GOPe that we want some real conservatives and populists on our side for a change.
