I'm not confident he could be called a good campaigner either. He had a terrible opponent and an easy angle of making Dr Oz look like a super wealthy, out of touch, non-Pennsylvanian. Some of the best campaign material was the crudite, go back to New Jersey shit.

When your job is "be the less gross sack of shit", and your best qualifier is "JK I am just as shitty I can just mask it better" you know you need better candidate vetting.

I voted for Connor Lamb. I think he was too bland, Fetterman definitely campaigned better.
