Dr. Oz stumbles out of the gate in Senate race

PHILADELPHIA — Mehmet Oz’s introduction to GOP grassroots politics is a code-red crisis. In his first three unofficial tests as a candidate in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary, the celebrity physician known as Dr. Oz has been handily rejected by party activists.

It’s a disappointing start for a cash-flush, top-tier candidate in one of the most important Senate races in the country.

A little over a week ago, Oz met with GOP state committee members and answered their questions alongside other Republican Senate candidates at a hotel just outside Harrisburg. Afterward, a straw poll was held. Despite his widespread name ID and deep pockets — he’s spent or booked $5.4 million on TV ads since Nov. 30 — Oz received just one vote out of more than 100 cast.

This past weekend, Oz had a chance to prove it was a fluke. Two different groups of state committee members — one in the Allentown area and one in northeastern Pennsylvania — again peppered Senate hopefuls with questions at party events. But he underperformed expectations again: He finished third in one straw poll and fourth in another.

I hope he was ready to give up on his TV show, because he'll never get the same ratings if he comes crawling back to it. He's damaged his mainstream ratings with this little stunt, which will fail miserably.
