I did not support Dr. Oz in the PA Senate primary, but I am sure supporting him now against Heart Attack Shrek, the communist mutant who spent the first half-century of his life sponging off his parents and now wants to spend the second half sponging off the feds with a DC sinecure.
Primaries mean something. If we believe in elections – and we have been pretty outspoken about the obnoxious election shenanigans we faced in 2020 – then we should act like it. Dr. Oz won.
A lot of folks wanted someone else. But you know who didn’t? A plurality of the Pennsylvania GOP.
What’s the proper response when you lose a primary? It’s to suck it up, get on the team, and bring in the win.
There’s little more obnoxious than Republicans getting in a hissy fit because they did not get their way after somebody else won fair and square.
We need unity in the tough PA Senate race, and we are not getting it to the extent we need.
You can have a hulking Marxist ogre whose fried brain means he will be a ventriloquist dummy for the radical lunatics surrounding him, or you can have a guy who is going to be with us a good 95% of the time and give the GOP control of the Senate agenda.
Anyone else remember Georgia? Not backing the Republicans in Georgia got us a ton of pinko judges and 87K new IRS stooges. Sitting out the run-off was a great plan.
Refusing to back Dr. Oz now in the general is not making any statement except that you are an emotion-driven BRAT mad because you didn’t get your way.

I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do, come voting time.
I just don’t trust Oz, don’t see all that much difference with a typical “moderate” Dem as far as several major policies go, plus he’s a carpetbagger with loyalty ties to another country.
I’m sick of holding my nose and voting for “not the Democrat”. My district has, yet again, kept Brian Fitzpatrick with his ridiculous “no labels” stance.
That is a great line.
Doesn’t PA have special elections for Senate vacancies? Think Harris Wofford.
You may be right about that.
Here in Alabama, the governor can appoint an interim senator until an election can be held. I think PA is the same.
PA seems like most states. Governor appoints Senate replacement until next general election, which would be less than 2 years away. It is in fact a ‘special election’ even if it occurs at a general election, because the special election winner serves only until that Senate seat comes up in its regular rotation.
Wofford was appointed by Bob Casey and won a special election months later. He lost to Santorum when the regular 6-year election came up.
