IMHO, the most likely to run is Jake Corman, a state Senator from College Station and a former aide to Rick Santorum. I don’t think that Charlie Dent will run, though he would be a credible candidate if he did.
I’m looking forward to campaigning against, and voting against, Casey.
I met with one of his aides in DC back in March. This “kid” was so green it was embarrassing. We asked what he did before he came to DC to work with Casey, and he said “I worked on his election campaign.”
Apparently that was his first and only job!
He even tried to argue that Social Security was “in the black” and making money by collecting interest on $4 billion in SS money it had loaned out! To the Federal Government!!
A hard campaigner is needed here.
The Casey name is still solid in Pennsylvania, despite what Junior has done to it. This guy keeps his head down most of the time, so he does not expose himself much.
The key is to tie him directly to Obama, Reid and the deficit.
