Cook Political Report: Pennsylvania Senate Moves Back to Toss Up [View all] brooklynite Oct 2022 OP

That's really bad news bucolic_frolic Oct 2022 #1

Yes. He should disavow his whole career. NoRethugFriends Oct 2022 #2

That's a sarcastic statement of universal generalization bucolic_frolic Oct 2022 #3

He is campaigning as the person he is NoRethugFriends Oct 2022 #11

Dems needed a strong November candidate - we desperately need that seat empedocles Oct 2022 #4

Fetterman always held some middle positions...can't help that in midwestern state. But he is OK Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #18

Until the news gets around that Oz used animals and left them to die. kimbutgar Oct 2022 #5

I hear it is coming...he is already all over twitter discussing this...using the campaign logo. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #15

Many of the lab animals were euthanized FakeNoose Oct 2022 #17

No this was not early in his career. He was born in 60. He began his residency in 1986. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #31

OK I stand corrected FakeNoose Oct 2022 #33

And many were left to die in their cages...all animals involved in a study are killed after the Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #32

I've seen the anti-Fetterman ads: They're basically, : "He lets felons out of jail." lindysalsagal Oct 2022 #6

The GOP are running the same Willie Horton style, attack ads against Mandela Barnes. sarcasmo Oct 2022 #10

And yet the polls are close with most of them showing that Mandel Barnes has the edge...and I Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #14

I think many PA people know the truth about this...two kids stop and give either a friend or Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #16

Every single GOP campaign is the same thing budkin Oct 2022 #19

The ads need to start hitting back, hard peggysue2 Oct 2022 #28

I don't think that's a good idea jimfields33 Oct 2022 #35

We'll have to agree to disagree, Jim peggysue2 Oct 2022 #37

I think the 'soft on crime' attack is doing some damage. Amishman Oct 2022 #64

If Mastriano should somehow manage to win.... TheRealNorth Oct 2022 #7

Mastriano is losing very badly...his last 'big' rally had 60 people including the media. There are Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #12

Yeah Mastriano should be removed from the Pennsylvania legislature FakeNoose Oct 2022 #21

I know staunch Republicans who won't vote for Mastriano Sugarcoated Oct 2022 #39

I call bullshit PlanetBev Oct 2022 #8

I call bullshit on Cook. I have not seen one poll that supports this. Fetterman is going to win. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #9

Cook is a very accurate poll analyzer. They are saying it is leaning Democratic in the Senate JohnSJ Oct 2022 #20

Too many people seem uncomfortable with any bad news... brooklynite Oct 2022 #24

We are on the same page Brooklynite, and Cook is a very accurate poll analyzer, and trying to write JohnSJ Oct 2022 #27

No, they are saying the PA Senate race is now a toss-up. W_HAMILTON Oct 2022 #30

It probably is a toss-up. The latest polls that I have seen only show Fetterman up by around two JohnSJ Oct 2022 #43

Then the NC Senate race should also be a toss-up. W_HAMILTON Oct 2022 #48

I think so. Between a lean or a toss-up, I think are the same thing, which is why I state turnout JohnSJ Oct 2022 #49

In a normal year that might be true...but Cook and others are underestimating the Roe vote. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #34

It will all depend on turnout JohnSJ Oct 2022 #45

He did not pick up New York 19...you would think that would give him pause. Doom and gloom Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #62

Not worried at all after the dead puppies report budkin Oct 2022 #13

I'm afraid to ask Tickle Oct 2022 #22

Here you go budkin Oct 2022 #23

I knew it would be upsetting Tickle Oct 2022 #26

The puppy story is really disgusting peggysue2 Oct 2022 #29

The OP can't stand Fetterman. BannonsLiver Oct 2022 #57

That is true...doom and gloom all the time. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #65

People should start asking why that is. BannonsLiver Oct 2022 #91

The polls were always going to tighten. rogue emissary Oct 2022 #25

I suppose this is another dig at Fetterman. Funny how it is demanded that we have multiple Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #36

+100 Absolutely bronxiteforever Oct 2022 #38

Thank you Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #66

And the other Cook Political report that uprated PA and MI Gov races was a dig at whom? brooklynite Oct 2022 #47

You don't like Fetterman...there is so much good news and yet here we are with a Cook Report... Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #51

I want Fetterman to win because I want Democrats to win. Its that simple. brooklynite Oct 2022 #55

It is a dig...and I think Cook is wrong. But in any case Fetterman is up by 5 in all legit polls- Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #60

So you're saying COOK wants to bias the outcome of the election? brooklynite Oct 2022 #67

Of course not...but no offense intended, like you, he views this as a normal year with a normal Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #68

So you think I WANT a Democratic nominee to lose? brooklynite Oct 2022 #72

No I do not. I just think you are human and you see things that confirm you negative opinion of Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #75

I didn't say I agreed with Cook's evaluation. brooklynite Oct 2022 #78

It would be good to include Cook's definitions Deminpenn Oct 2022 #90

BTW: Will you be critiquing the reasons for THIS post? brooklynite Oct 2022 #80

It's a critique of any politician that refuses to debate. rogue emissary Oct 2022 #58

Debates won't help. PA knows Fetterman...there were plenty of debates when he became Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #61

Sure. If they know him so well. Why has Fetterman lead continued to shrink? rogue emissary Oct 2022 #63

Sorry to disappoint you, he has been leading the entire time and continues to lead. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #69

In my post where did I say he was behind Oz? rogue emissary Oct 2022 #74

Apparently you can't point out a tightening of the election without wanting it to happen... brooklynite Oct 2022 #82

No, they just don't believe the tightening Just_Vote_Dem Oct 2022 #84

Who have I bullied and how? brooklynite Oct 2022 #85

Sealioning Just_Vote_Dem Oct 2022 #86

And where did I do that? brooklynite Oct 2022 #87

.... Just_Vote_Dem Oct 2022 #88

Fetterman said he'd stick to the debate schedule that's been the norm for years in PA, is all Sugarcoated Oct 2022 #40

We'll see in November but I was referring to the primary debates. rogue emissary Oct 2022 #59

OK he attended primary debates. And of course they mostly devolved into 'you pointed a gun Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #70

Cook political is probably the best pollster..but none of them have been very accurate over the last PortTack Oct 2022 #41

New York 19 elected a Democrat...no right movement there. Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #46

Edited my post meant to say it isn't in the direction of the right...sorry. PortTack Oct 2022 #53

Cook isn't a pollster. brooklynite Oct 2022 #56

Got it ..yes I know. wrong terminology on my part PortTack Oct 2022 #81

More to the point, they charge very large fees (currently $350/year) for their analysis.... brooklynite Oct 2022 #83

In forecasting speak, a 5 pt lead is considered a "toss up" Deminpenn Oct 2022 #42

Oz has never polled above edhopper Oct 2022 #44

That should be a reflection of republican enthusiasm, which should favor Democrats JohnSJ Oct 2022 #50

Let's hope edhopper Oct 2022 #52

Do we think that there will be a lot of ticket splitters? Mad_Machine76 Oct 2022 #54

No, those that vote for Oz will vote Mastriano...and those who vote for Shapiro will vote Fetterman Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #71

Yes but...polling has consistently shown a higher vote for Shapiro than for Fetterman. brooklynite Oct 2022 #73

That is not true from the polls I saw a few months back... DemocraticPatriot Oct 2022 #76

Nope, it hasn't. The polls have shown both ahead by wide margins and both somewhat close... Demsrule86 Oct 2022 #77

The last 7 PA-GOV polls had Shapiro up 10-15; The last 7 PA-SEN polls had Fetterman up 2-7. brooklynite Oct 2022 #79

Don't care. ColinC Oct 2022 #89
