Comments on: What’s going on with Pennsylvania’s Senator John Fetterman https://thenewneo.com/2023/02/10/whats-going-on-with-pennsylvanias-senator-john-fetterman/ A blog about political change, among other things Sun, 12 Feb 2023 16:23:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Erik Axelson https://thenewneo.com/2023/02/10/whats-going-on-with-pennsylvanias-senator-john-fetterman/#comment-2666256 Sun, 12 Feb 2023 16:23:31 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=124062#comment-2666256 Regarding PA election law, the governor appoints a successor who serves until after the next general election. For a vacancy filled before September 2023 the next general election in the Commonwealth would be November 2023.
The most recent example occurred in 1991 when Senator John Heinz was killed in a plane crash. Governor Robert P Casey appointed Harris Wofford to fill the vacant seat. Wofford then ran for the remaining three years of the Senate term, and defeated former governor and US Attorney General Dick Thornburgh in the general election in November 1991.

Exactly !

So we should not hold that against him.
As soon as Dr. Frankenstein adjusts the electrodes in Fetterman’s neck, John will be just fine.
In case your wondering, Fetterman’s electrodes get charged using only wind or solar energy, so no CO2 is emitted.
There are rumors that Dr. Frankenstein is working on ways to reduce methane emissions from Fetterman, so this too must be weighing on Fetterman’s state of mind because it forces him to minimize talking (if you know what I mean).

Don’t be surprised if she is nominated by the governor to replace him if he’s eventually recognized as incompetent to hold office.

Compared to what? He’s been light headed for as long as he’s been in the public eye

Luckily the PA state senate is Republican controlled so they won’t be able to play the games Massachusetts did of changing all the rules when Teddy Kennedy died.

In Fetterman’s case, his list commanded wildly divergent rates and was sold again in the weeks after the midterm elections to one of the Washington-based strategists.”

I’ve often felt that way myself.

As Skip says, he didn’t have enough money to counter the TV propaganda.

I hope Fetterman’s ambitious wife is satisfied with the ruination of her husband’s life. With rest, he might have recovered, although that’s not certain; now, he probably never will.

Oz wasn’t a bad candidate, thought his exposure on TV would help him. The Democrats Propaganda Ministry runs all tv except ads and he didn’t get enough money to over compensate that endless Propaganda. He actually did what Fetterman didn’t do and got out to see voters, saw many videos and read what he said.
Vote fraud carries Pa, did in 2020 and in 2022, will in 2024 as nothing in Harrisburg will stop it.
