"SNIP......

A new Monmouth poll in Pennsylvania shows nearly half of the electorate will either definitely (39%) or probably (9%) vote for John Fetterman (D) for U.S. Senate, while while Mehmet Oz has 32% definitely supporting him and 12% probably supporting.

There are as many or even more Fetterman compared to Oz signs in many red areas of Pennsylvania. These are areas in which Democratic signs are sometimes outnumbered by 5 to 1 if not worse in past election years.

Maybe folk hero isn't accurate for him, but Fetterman is definitely some type of folk figure in Pennsylvania. He grew up in central PA, went to college in eastern PA, and lives in western PA. He knows the state.

as far as I can tell there is no enthusiasm for Oz. The few signs I see are always accompanied by a Mastriano sign and some other pub candidates. As many Fetterman, and this is a red area.

Based purely off signs, I'd think Mastriano was the one in a competitive race and Oz was the one trailing by double digits.

Is putting their signs out on the entrance and exits of the major thoroughfares. Like the Blue Route in Delaware County or spaced along Baltimore Pike. As for house signs? There's a 3 to 1 advantage for Shapiro, Fetterman and the Democratic slate.

Who knew that being a native son might be an advantage???

Everyone who lives and votes in Pennsylvania!

His Bryn Athyn "Residence?"

There are a fuckton of Oz signs on Byberry in Bryn Athyn outside of the Colmsgate Farm. I'seen others throughout the area. I notice they got knocked down and someone eventually puts them back up. There has been a ton on Philmont along the edge of the country club. Mastriano has an election office there. They haven't been looking too good this week.
