Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
Word is Fetterman raised $500,000 off crudite. Go John and Josh (who was so impressive during the Jan 6 bogus litigation all the way up to SCOTUS).
Good account to follow for polling --Political Polls @Politics_Polls 6h

Fetterman (D) 52% (+16)
Oz (R) 36%
.

What I'm curious about is how the voting will go in the deep red parts of PA.

These are the kinds of numbers we should be seeing in Georgia as well. Walker is a joke.

Mehmet Oz has offered his first comments since a video of him shopping for crudité went viral. John Fetterman has raised lots of money off it.
"We'll do whatever we need to do to make sure that people of Pennsylvania respect what we're about," Oz says.
What happened: Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania, is blaming exhaustion for his bungling of a grocery store name, days after the video of him shopping for crudité set the Internet aflame.
Here's his response to Newsmax when asked about the video, originally from April, that resurfaced and went viral this week:
"I joke about a crudité, which is a way of speaking about how ridiculous it is that you can even put vegetables on a plate in the middle of a campaign. We'll do whatever we need to do to make sure that people of Pennsylvania respect what we're about and then we're going to work as hard as we can to fix their problems." — Dr. Mehmet Oz on Newsmax [WTF does this even mean? ]
Asked about his struggles with the store name — Oz appears to say "Wegners" instead of Pennsylvania mainstays Wegmans and Redner's — the Republican blamed exhaustion from the campaign trail. "I was exhausted. ... I don't think that's a measure of someone's ability to lead the Commonwealth," he said.
The campaign of Oz's opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), said it had raised more than $500,000 from the crudité video alone — including a sticker of the non-existent "Wegners." "Oz clearly has never been in a grocery store before. That’s why this is resonating with supporters across Pennsylvania,” said Brendan McPhillips, Fetterman's campaign manager.

Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
Umm ... Mehmet? You're not running for a position where you can 'lead the commonwealth'. You're running for a position that allows you to represent the commonwealth in the United States Congress."I was exhausted. ... I don't think that's a measure of someone's ability to lead the Commonwealth," he said.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
I'm Foggy and I forget if I approved this message.

Too also, if Biden said he was exhausted, there'd be (even more) calls for him to step down cuz...unable to lead.

Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
What was with the qualifier on that answer? "legitimately" own
Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
Per the Daily Beast, Oz's full(er) answer:
The "legitimately" still doesn't make sense. And, of course, he owns more than two; owns, not rents.“Legitimately, I own two houses,” he said, according to footage filmed by the operative and obtained by The Daily Beast.
“But one of them we're building on, the other ones I rent,” Oz added.
But perhaps he meant to say, "I rent out," as in, he doesn't have a present possessory interest in them. And we already know he does rent at least one out.
"For completeness":
So they're not all "houses."In fact, according to public records, Dr. Oz owns 10 properties:
• a 9,000-square-foot mansion in New Jersey
• a 7,000-square-foot country house in Pennsylvania
• a condo in New Jersey
• a piece of residential real estate in Sariyer, Turkey
• another piece of residential real estate in Sariyer, Turkey
• a Manhattan condo
• another Manhattan condo
• an oceanside mansion in Palm Beach, Florida
• a cattle farm in Okeechobee, Florida
• and a piece of residential property in Konya, Turkey, which appears to be used as a student dormitory
Oz’s wife, Lisa, also owns a mansion in Maine with her family and a pool house next to Oz’s New Jersey mansion.

Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
I miss a line like "... and in Pensylvania I own a letterbox! ..."
Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
I understand he bought a 7,000-square-foot mansion in Eastern PA in the spring. Any bets on how long after he loses the election before it's back on the market again?

Wow, he has a mansion attached to the letterbox
Re: 2022 Pennsylvania Senate race
Those apples will go perfect with foie gras as a canapés for the next reception at his Jersey mansion. The two dudes? Not so much.

Oz is really, really bad at this. He's got nothing. Oz says he is "an immigrant that worked up through the ranks." I'm not sure how poor Oz was, but I do know that he went to Harvard as an undergrad then Wharton. Scholarship? Dunno. I suspect hooey.

“Oz was born in 1960 in Cleveland, Ohio, to Suna and Mustafa Öz, who had emigrated from Konya Province, Turkey. Mustafa was born in Bozkır, a small town in southern Turkey, and graduated at the top of his class at Cerrahpaşa Medical School in 1950 and moved to the United States to join the general residency program at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, where Mehmet was born.”
