A squishy GOP establishment reporter whistles past the graveyard. She enthusiastically cites a recent "bipartisan" poll showing Dr. Oz losing by "only" 6 points to Uncle Festerman although another recent liberal Democrat poll shows Oz being beaten by 9 points.

One of the most idiotic claims which has been made by the liberal GOP puppetmasters on behalf of "Electable Oz" is that he will do a better job of gaining women's votes than a normal Republican candidate would, due to their familiarity with him and his telegenic persona. Wrong. The more reputable of the two polls mentioned above has Oz down by 14 points among female voters, and anyone who believes that gap will significantly narrow over the next few months is delusional.

Oz was annointed by the establishment, which would have been equally happy with McCormick or anyone other than Barnette, because he's a celebrity (so what?); is wealthy enough to self-fund his campaign (then why does Fetterman have 5x Oz' amount of campaign cash and 100x the TV ads?); will pull in the brain-dead suburban soccer mommy vote and the votes of other insane liberal white women (already debunked); and he'll still do well with the conservative base of the GOP (LOL!).

Trump won PA, probably twice, by appealing to the working-class, blue-collar faction of the Democrat party while still holding nearly all of the Republicans' conservative base. Oz is obviously going to underperform on both counts.
