Perhaps it is because polling is just that bad.

Conor Lamb is in! I’m glad I don’t live in Pennsylvania because I would have a hard time choosing between him at Lt Gov fetterman.
I much prefer Fetterman. Lamb is great, but he seems so... bland. Another handsome centrist boring lawyer. Not like we haven't seen that before.
Check the list of Democrats who have been elected statewide in Pennsylvania lately. They’re... not radical.
I don’t think Fetterman is terribly radical.
And he was elected state-wide.

Eli Bremer, an Air Force veteran and former Olympian from Colorado Springs, announced Tuesday that he is running for U.S. Senate against Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet.
“I do believe that Colorado is ready for a different type of Republican, who’s looking to create solutions and work with all Coloradans, regardless of party, to get things done,” Bremer told The Post in an interview.
The 43-year-old Republican competed in the modern pentathlon at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and has worked as an Olympics announcer for NBC since, including during this year’s Games. He also serves on a congressional committee that is studying possible reforms to the U.S. Olympic system.
Bremer has never run for public office but was the El Paso County GOP chairman from 2011-2013 and his family has deep ties to Colorado Springs politics. His father was a county commissioner and his wife currently is. His uncle, Paul Bremer, was a presidential envoy to Iraq in the 2000s.
Is he willing to bend the knee to Trump? If not, he doesn't stand a chance.

New Hampshire sits at the center of the battle for Senate control in 2022
It’s not a presidential election cycle, but the state of New Hampshire is poised to play a critical role in the fight for power in Washington, D.C. once again in 2022.
All eyes are on New Hampshire GOP Gov. Chris Sununu, who many Republicans view as one of the key ingredients to taking back control of the upper chamber — if he mounts a Senate bid.
But while the political world waits for that decision, the rough-and-tumble world of political advertising certainly is not waiting for anything. The New Hampshire race already ranks as the third-most expensive Senate race in the country when it comes to ad spending, according to AdImpact, with $2.9 million already spent.
And before the field is even set, both sides are making clear this will be a nationalized race.
Progressive groups are taking swipes at Sununu over things like signing new abortion restrictions, ahead of a major Supreme Court decision on abortion next year. And they’re calling him Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s “handpicked” candidate, trying to counter his strong approval rating in the state by tying him to Washington. (Expect them to also try to tie Sununu to former President Donald Trump, who weighed in last month to say he’d “like to see [Sununu] run.)
Republicans are working a similar angle, tying Hassan to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer while attacking H.R.1/S. 1 as Hassan’s “Washington power grab.”
So far, six groups have already spent at least six figures on ads, all for a race that doesn’t have a Republican candidate — yet.
Sununu has been open about his decision-making process, explaining it to NBC’s Henry Gomez in this great story last month. And he has a lot of factors to weigh, not the least of which being how nationalized this race might become.
The governor has held onto strong approval numbers despite the difficult job of weathering the storm of the pandemic, and he's positioned himself well for a northeastern Republican — he's strong with independents and has been able to walk a careful line with Trump.
That's the kind of profile that has Republicans salivating over a potential bid. But that balancing act gets tougher if he runs for Senate, when it would be harder to keep national forces and Trump at an arm’s length, and away from his political legacy.

Heh yeah from what I can see progressives dislike Fetterman for not being radical.
Here are his positions - I guess you could think of some of these as radical?
https://johnfetterman.com/issues/
He wants to legalize pot across the country.
I don’t think anyone can argue that Fetterman is more progressive than the average Democrat elected statewide in Pennsylvania.
