The media has done a pretty good job of painting Santorum as a right wing extremist. Today's Scranton paper ran a short blurb on the fact that the "moderate" (their word)senator Specter would accompany Bush to a local event but not the "conservative" (again their description) senator Santorum. It mentions he had a prior committment but the short article has a negative tone to it. The whole point of the article seems to be to suggest the moderate is more concerned about the local area than the conservative.

Plus conservatives are mad at him for supporting Specter over Toomey. Plus he more or less turned into what he used to criticize. For example when he ran for Senate he campaigned partly on the fact the incumbent (Wofford?) didn't live in PA. Santorum lives in VA. The house he owns in PA is too small for his large family and I believe he rents it out. Doesn't even live in it part time.

The Casey name is still popular in PA. Bob Sr was a very popular governor.

That was then this is now. Bob Casey was revered in PA for being prolife all the way down the line.

His brat is not 100% prolife.

This will all be hashed out before the primary.
