Fraud did not cost OZ PA...
Oz cost Oz PA folks... utterly off brand and lousy candidate.. never had a shot at winning.
The only reason OZ was within 3 was because Fetterman had a stroke... had Fetterman been healthy, and been able to properly campaign Oz would have lost by 6-8.
This is the simple reality of PA.
Registration:
46% D, 39% R, 15% I.
To win statewide in PA as an R you have to be an insanely strong candidate.. YOu have to get every R vote there is to get, and then win independents by more than 2 to 1 and/or peel off a lot of conservative/moderate Ds... Oz never had ANY shot at accomplishing this. He didn’t even have strong enthusiasm among Republican voters... He was a turd.
He was a lousy and completely off brand candidate, no one should be surprised he lost, anyone who’s spent any time in PA outside of Philly/NJ border should have been able to tell you he was losing.
You cannot run a lousy or mediocre R for statewide office in PA and win, period.
Oz wasn’t even mediocre, he was utterly off brand, and the folks who told you he was a “great” candidate were ignoramuses or liars, or both.
Nobody “told me” Oz was a “great candidate”. Why would you make a comment like that? Because I view the entire Pennsylvania political system as being entirely corrupt?
Look at the Republican douchebags who have gone to the Senate from Pennsylvania in living memory. I hardly think they were “insanely strong” candidates.
