Trump works overtime to push Dr. Oz over the finish line
Politico
Republican Kathy Barnette said she has 'no intentions' of supporting her rivals if they defeat her in Pennsylvania's tight GOP Senate primary.

PHILADELPHIA — The latest polling in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate race shows Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity television doctor who received Donald Trump’s backing, could win.
But so could Kathy Barnette, the conservative commentator whose sudden rise from single-digit support to top contender has stunned state and national Republicans. Or maybe Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO with his own strong ties to Trump world.
One day before one of the highest-profile primaries of the midterms, the winner could easily be any one of three — and it’s made the final hours before voters go to the polls Tuesday a wild ride where seemingly anything could happen.
Virtually every poll in recent weeks has shown Oz clinging to a tiny advantage within the margin of error. And an internal survey from the pro-McCormick super PAC Honor Pennsylvania shows that Barnette saw a significant jump from the beginning to end of last week, leaving the three candidates locked in a dead heat: McCormick at 25 percent, and Oz and Barnette tied at 24 percent.

Most fun GOP election for me, since I moved to PA in '94!
