Wasn't Santorum's 2000 opponent also a little more moderate on the abortion issue?

Yes, he was actually fairly pro-life. I think his name may have been Ron Klink, but I'm not sure.

You're right about the primary getting nasty, but I think Hafer would triumph over Casey in the end, because she's the one who'll get Rendell's backing.

I just hope the primary is nasty enough to give Santorum the edge in the general.

Former Gov Casey was pretty much a liberal on issues other than abortion but I was thrilled anyway to see him beat Hafer in the general election by a huge margin in 1990. As Bob Novak put it, Hafer thought she was running for president of NOW rather than gov. of PA so she was one Republican I was glad to see go down to a humiliating defeat.
