Mr. Mastriano was joined by his wife Rebbie, who also took some time to speak to supporters. Media were admitted to the events, but were asked by campaign staff “not to engage with Doug or Rebbie” and at one point during Mr. Mastriano’s speech were physically blocked by campaign members and supporters.
In the parking lot of the Republican Committee of Allegheny County headquarters in Green Tree, Mr. Mastriano shook hands and took photos with a crowd of about 75 people. He dedicated a large portion of his speech at this event to criticizing his opponent, current Attorney General Josh Shapiro and current Governor Tom Wolf.
“My goal is to make Pennsylvania the Florida of the north,” Mr. Mastriano told the crowd. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis joined Mr. Mastriano at a Pittsburgh rally in August, where he called on all Republicans to unite around the candidate.
“No longer will you have a governor reigning over you with terror and fear,” Mr. Mastriano added.

Oh really - "The Florida of the North"?
If you love Florida so much, why don't you just move there, Doug!
I know LOTS of Pennsylvanians, and nobody I know wants our beautiful state to become the Florida of the North.

I think DeSantis even did some fundraising for Mastriano. But the real reason is, Mastriano is a rightwing idiot.
I guess those are the MAGAts who haven't figured out that Oz isn't really a MAGAt. When Fetterman and Oz finally do have that debate they're talking about, it will be clear to everybody. Dr. Oz is pretending to be friends with Chump just long enough to get people to vote for him.
I really don't care why he's running, because he's not going to win anyway. Fetterman will win this in double digits, as long as the Democrats Get Out the Vote.
I plan to post this a lot more often in the next few weeks:
But surrounding counties - Westmoreland, Butler, Beaver, Indiana, Fayette, Washington - lots of red hats there.
Let's hope they've smartened up in the last year or two.
