I think given his nature and image and medical questions that him refusing to debate would have been as bad or worse as where things stand now.
As NC said earlier, better to have people think it might be true than to confirm it for them.
Quote:Hobbs can say that she's not going to give her opponent TV time to push conspiracy theories, that has some merit. What can Fetterman say? His refusal to participate would just be confirmation that he's not fit for the office.
You make a reasonable point here. Oz, for his undesirable qualities, is not an election denier and is much harder to paint as an extremist.
Quote:But yeah, he may be in a no-win situation here which is why he did the debate in the first place, or maybe he's hoping Oz's history as a polished and well-spoken parasite with a Trump-template agenda turn off the undecided when they tuned in.
I'm not betting on Fetterman, but I can see why he did the debate. How would you spin it to the undecided if you are on Fetterman's team and he declined to debate?
I would think some variety of what you just said here. But I, again, concede the case is harder to make for Oz than Lake.
Quote:Oh, and I will say Oz winning seems pretty meh as he's a calculated type but Walker being a senator with his history of violence and utter insanity could be pretty damn interesting, I'll admit.
Yeah, as much as I dislike Warnock and his anti-law enforcement bullshit I'd have a hard time pinching my nose and voting for Walker. If I lived in GA I don't think I'd vote for either of them.
