Lots of scuttlebutt circulating around Tweep World these days about the change in direction, midterm-wise.
Mind you, we cats were never into the "2022 will be a Democratic disaster" narrative that the execrable media kept trying to push on everybody. Our attitude was: Wait and see. But when you have a 24/7 broadcast schedule to fill, doomsaying is often the easiest, laziest way out. (Don't get us started on how the rise of the cable news networks was actually terrible for journalism. That's a post for another day.)
But back to the scuttlebutt: "The GOP just canceled $10 million in fall ads for the Senate in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Wisconsin. This is a clear sign of financial problems. Hardest hit is Pennsylvania, more than $5 million in Philly alone. They've given up on Oz."
Well, this sounds true. How can you not give up on Oz when polls have him down to John Fetterman by double digits, and he videos campaign commercials set in grocery stores, in which he's trying to shop for "crudités"? As Fetterman pointed out, Pennsylvanians call these cold-cut platters. And who is advising this Oz fool?
But anyway, let's move on to the next question. If they're cutting loose "Crudité Oz," Russian sympathizer Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, and crazy Blake Masters in Arizona, where will the GOP invest their money? In Baby Marco Rubio in Florida, since Val Demings has now tied him in the polls? In relative nonentity Ted Budd in North Carolina? And what about Iowa? Admiral Mike "Not Al" Franken is holding centenarian Chuck Grassley to his lowest lead in decades. Maybe the Republicans will have to rush to Chuck's defense, especially if more information comes to light when the January 6 Committee reconvenes next month.
It's all wonderful fodder for cocktail conversation, and a good sign three weeks out from Labor Day. We cats PURR.
UPDATE: Looks like it's true.
