    Agree Mr D
    Or we could wait til Houston freezes over for a "true" conservative.

    Much better than having a bunch of Democrats elected. Just look at the current House.

    If your picture is on a product sold in stores (especially if it's a pillow box), you're not a good candidate.

    I don’t understand the dig against pillow boxes. I am sure you have used a pillow your whole life. SMH.

    There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it's a negative impression. Being a pitch man looks gimmicky and phony when transitioned to politics. There's a reason why the spray-can hair guy knew not to run for office.

    Then no excuse to specifically target pillow boxes. Of all people, you should be attuned with product defamation law.

    Fetterman is trolling Dr. Oz and it's funny stuff.

    Dude got punched and pushed whoever punched him. I'm unsure how that's "punching a woman". He is charged with misdemeanor assault. I bet he's innocent.

    smash cut: Assault charges were dismissed. Assault charge dismissed in GV GOP gathering case "Jackson was then surrounded and appeared to be struck twice by a woman in the crowd before appearing to push her away, according to the video."

    I'm unsure how he's a convicted child molester. 4th degree sexual assault. He does appear to have some sketchy sex offender background of some sort.

    Oh, they are, but if you're a pitch man, it just makes it more obvious. Remember, perceptions are what make someone a bad candidate.

    It has nothing to do with "my vote." I'd vote for Oz. I'm not like other voters. Also, two other points. People are more cynical now than in 1980. Second, he was a pitch man 20-30 years before running. Oz is a pitch man now.

    fair enough
    So Oz brought out new commercials since he announced? or are these made before

    I don't know when he pitched those pillows, but it's obviously fairly recently.

    Unfortunately Oz has a "sham wow" feel to him and Walker has the "uh, coach which foot does this one go on.?" feel. Neither should have been the GOP candidate for a tight race with control of the senate on the line.

    Obviously we know who you're talking about. However, I put more blame on the Georgia and Pennsylvania GOPs. They never recruited serious candidates for either seat, and it should have been easy to do so. Those seats are golden opportunities. Others did run, but I don't think any of them would be doing dramatically better. Some were marginally better, but none were very good.

    They had to have the Tic-Tac kiss of approval.

    At least in Georgia, Brian Kemp proved that not to be true. Instead of running against him as Trump's hand puppet, David Perdue should have run for Senate again. He wasn't a great candidate, but he probably would beat Warnock. Jack Kingston wouldn't have been too bad either.

    Maybe a Libertarian could slip in and do something in GA or PA.
     
  24. Mr. Deez

    Mr. Deez Beer Prophet

    Yep, a Libertarian could come in and make those races even harder to win. I'd rather see a Green candidate step in.

    Or win it out right and make the world a better place. No sense in going back to a putrid well for water.

    Mr. Deez Beer Prophet

    Win it and join the rest of the long and distinguished list of Libertarian senators who have run and won outright.

    Yeah. You're right. Things never happen for the first time or change.

    In a swing state, it would take a freak thing like both major party candidates dying it was too late to change the ballots for the Libertarian to have a chance.
