Neither candidate can waste time arguing. No time to be idle. Presume and move on until informed otherwise.

Indeed he has GOP party backing from the RNC and GOP leadership in the state.

Onto the General Election here in Pennsylvania.

Ten bucks says that the swamp creature (or the bigger swamp creature) will be declared the winner. Philly...Pittsburgh...Harrisburg...and State College...will tip the scales.

I’m so jaded and cynical now, I’d put a bet on Oz loosing after the re-count.

Watch it happen.

No, he isn't wrong. It's very unlikely that the recount will seriously degrade a 900 vote margin, if at all.

The article said that about 10,000 votes are yet to be counted. Considering that 900 is not an insurmountable lead.

I hope everyone knows that, a politician claiming victory, or conceding defeat, is not any legally binding statement of fact.

There is still a legal vote counting process and legal election certification procedure to occur.

Stacey Abrams is the poster girl for this. She never ever conceded having lost her election. But her not conceding had no legal effect on her election results.

McCormick should think about ‘24. Prospects are good but only if Oz wins in November. The wave could last 2 election cycles if we’re smart. Not counting on it. Sore loser-ism doesn’t work. Blow a few outside Pennsylvania and we’ll feel like those Texas cops that came up short.

True, but to overcome that lead, McCormick would need to get about 55% of that remaining vote to overcome the lead.

And if that happened, then I wonder if the Oz people would ask for another recount to confirm; not sure of the laws in PA on recounts.

I’ll go with the Turkish Muslim over the friend of Communist China.

Turkish Muslims fought Chinese Communists in the Korean War.

Yep, that's the point. A 900-vote margin out of 10,000 yet-to-be counted votes doesn't seem all that much. But why, when the margin of the now-counted votes is a fraction of 1%, will McCormick suddenly start pulling 55%? While possible, yes, it is quite unlikely as a practical matter.

If OZ is the nom, then lets get to work to put him in ASAP.

Huge opportunity with Fetterman's problems, and worse his team's cover-up of his condition, which some prominent PA MDs have questioned. This shows he cannpot be trusted to be transparent as governor.

Also must prepare for Connor Lamb to be Torriceli'd into the ballot at the last minute if polls go low enough.

If there’s a debate and Dr. Oz has to step in when Fetterman goes down on stage, the case will be made about medical condition.

Fetterman has done town hall meetings across Pennsylvania every county to talk marijuana legalization. Maybe the weed is coming home to roost for Fetterman.

Oz is already questioning marijuana and he rightly should. Consider this regarding the Texas killer...

His being a Republican is presumptive.

RE: Dr. Oz currently leads Dave McCormick by 902 votes with more to be tabulated

Remember Minnesota in 2008?

Republican Norm Coleman was leading by over 700 votes, but the official results, certified on November 18, 2008, had Coleman leading by only 215 votes.

As the two candidates were separated by less than 0.5 percent of the votes cast, the Minnesota Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie authorized the automatic recount provided for in Minnesota election law. In the recount, ballots and certifying materials were examined by hand, and candidates could file challenges to the legality of ballots or materials for inclusion or exclusion.

On January 5, 2009, the Minnesota State Canvassing Board certified the recounted vote totals, with Franken ahead by 225 votes.

Coleman’s campaign filed an election contest which led to a trial before a three-judge panel.

The trial ended on April 7, when the panel ruled that 351 of 387 disputed absentee ballots were incorrectly rejected and ordered them counted. Counting those ballots raised Franken’s lead to 312 votes. Coleman appealed all the way to the state Supreme Court.

Minnesota’s Supreme Court unanimously rejected Coleman’s appeal and said that Franken was entitled to be certified as the winner. Shortly after the court’s decision, Coleman conceded.

Franken became senator by the closest of margins and went on to torment the country with his idiotic liberal policies for over a decade.

Oz is speaking too soon.
