Santorum has lost a very big club to bash his democratic opponent. Santorum has lost credibility on this issue, no one will like hearing that fact but you can not change it. Casey will be able to make the case he can do more for the prolife possition than Santorum. It will be a lie but he will be able to make it, and a lot will buy it.

Not if Santorum hits Casey over the head over the issue of judges. Casey's pro-life views won't mean beans if he joins the Democratic obstruction cabal. He can easily be tagged as a hypocrite.

There is no way Santorum can use that with out being pegged a Hypocrite as well. I just used the prolife plank as one example but I would also include the issue of judges as a lost opportunity for Rick as well. You should check out the threads on FR last year when all this was hot and heavy; it was the issue of the Courts as much as prolife that had people mad at Bush and Santorum. Many were quoting Arlin and his "Scottish Law" rulings being ground for some of his votes on the floor of the Senate. I agree Casey will be bad and I do not know what to recommend for the voters of PA but Rick has lost a lot of ammo to protect the back of a snake. Now he is getting bit and I for one am have some trouble mustering sympathy. I fault none who wish to help him but I don't think those who were Rick's enablers (Specter primary voters) have ground to attack those who think Rick brought it on himself.
