Oh, yes. As bad as Oz was, he was much better than Fetterman. A thousand times better.
The problem is that Oz’s ads never got that point across. The GOP needs to learn from this. Fetterman’s ads portrayed him (Fetterman) as a solid, sensible, middle-class guy. The kind of guy you would work with at the mill, and would grab a beer with afterwards. None of that is true, of course.
Ozs early ads were just silly. They had him wandering around a Pennsylvania factory with a silly grin on his face, like he was lost. Oz’s later ads got better. They hit Fetterman on crime. But that was too little, too late.
And then there was the voter fraud (see my tagline). That’s a separate issue.
Which he was.
