Whoever is managing his messaging is doing a putrid job. These are truly free ones he's giving to the Fetterman campaign.
And give Fetterman and his staff credit for taking advantage very quickly and effectively of these unforced errors by Oz.

I have heard it said that one of the most significant challenges of running a high-profile campaign is to effectively project the candidate's "true, authentic self". Well, by that measure, I'd have to say Oz's is enjoying immense success -- in spades -- because his has done such a phenomenal job of making abundantly clear just how much of an a****** this guy really is.

He's technically right if politically tone deaf.
Of course, he wasn't a politician when he said it. It is ironic that this might be a rare instance of him providing nominally accurate medical information.

Really, this is what annoys me the most about Oz. Not the elitism, the carpetbagging, the sanctimoniousness, even the puppy killing. It's that he got richer selling bullshit snake oil to gullible people.

Still kinda surprised he didn't bring some of the excellent TV talent from his tv world onto his campaign staff. These type of small details are always picked up by people who see life through a camera lense and in many cases are quite intentional when staging a tv / photo shot as they support the spoken message about the candidate.

It's still gonna be close, but I no longer expect Fetterman to win.
Which surprises the Hell out of me.
I've seldom been so sure someone was gooing to win a seriously contested race, and subsequently changed my mind.
But a stroke is a major life event.

I’ve been predicting an Oz victory even when polls had Fetterman up by double digits. It’s almost impossible to escape a state’s partisanship+national environment. I learned that lesson in VA Sen 2014 and WI Sen 2016 (among others).

A really bad Senate candidate can manage to lose in a purple state regardless of the environment. Dr. Oz may not be quite as bad as Herschel Walker, but he is still a bad candidate. The national environment is unclear as well: although inflation helps Republicans, Dobbs helps Democrats.

Sure...but there are two bad candidates in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

The debate is being held right now. Both Fetterman and Oz are fairly vague in their answers. Fetterman's stutter isn't too bad; a few times he had trouble getting the right word out. Oz has a few prepared lines that he repeats too much. I think Oz is doing slightly better on the whole but I don't know if it will be enough to get him across the 50% line.
