Fetterman's debate performance has Democrats on edge in crucial Pennsylvania Senate race

HARRISBURG, Pa. — After getting their first long look at John Fetterman in Tuesday night’s Pennsylvania Senate debate, fellow Democrats are second-guessing his decision to appear on stage five months after a stroke — and some question whether he should have remained on the ballot at all.

(Snowy's opinion: I wish Democrats would shut the f..k up. This is their candidate, back him! Questioning and 2nd guessing only feeds the other side)

But by Wednesday morning, many Democrats were in a panic over his performance. And there were fresh questions about how transparent Fetterman has been through a months-long recovery that continues to present communication challenges less than two weeks before Election Day.

(Snowy's opinion: Just what the Dems need in the home stretch, panic 😕)

He has little room for error: The FiveThirtyEight's review of recent polls suggests he holds a 2.3 percentage point lead over Republican Mehmet Oz, a margin that has narrowed appreciably since Labor Day.

(YES it has narrowed, but even despite a poor performance, Fetterman is still leading, time to put a MORE positive spin on this instead of hand wringing)

Fetterman 47.2%Oz 44.9%

Similarly, some Democrats maintained optimism. 

Snowy was listening to a call in show yesterday, day after the debate, and it featured a lot of Pennsylvania voters, and the vast majority who called in - and this was NOT on a partisan leftwing show either - had the same message:

"Fetterman is one of us, no way we are going to fall for a fake from out of state."

Whatchallthink? Time for the Democrat panic button pushers to stop eating their own??

After all, the Repubs are backing Hershel Walker ALL THE WAY.
