I don't see this as single-handedly sinking Casey's bid, but it does damage it. How much remains to be seen.

I don't see why not.Sounds like Casey may have violated the Pa. constitution.I'm no lawyer, but it doesn't look right to me.

The dems have figured Casey could beat Rick as long as "the wheels didn't come off" his campaign.

See this:

Santorum expected to cut Casey's big edge

It was written before the above editorial.

I sure feel like a dummy for believing the polls and thinking Santorum was a gonner. This could be a nice turnaround

No. Democrats never resign in shame. They get re-elected by other shameless Democrats.
It's just the way it is.

In any case this is a huge campaign issue for Santorum.

Yes, it will - this is big. This knocks the legs out from under Casey's Senate bid. It was clear sailing until one learned he cut checks for Pennslyvania lawmakers who voted for an illegal pay raise. There's no way he can defend that conduct. Its over. All Santorum has to do is run a commercial linking Casey with the Harrisburg political establishment and its kaput for the Democrat. It looked bad for Santorum a few months back. Now this. I can't wait for other shoe to drop.

Rick Santorum is also smiling because Kate Michelman, former head of NARAL is seriously thinking of jumping in to the race . Giving Pennsylvania a "choice", so to speak.

That would add nice touch.... if Casey's toast, the Dems have to run a pro-abortion liberal. Great news!

Unless I'm mistaken, Michelman could not garner the necessary filing petition signatures and has now missed the filing deadline.

I view this as only a hit (not a mortal wound) on Mr. Casey. That ol' double standard thing. But it may give pause to some of the Santorum "pallbearers." At least until the next bad poll comes out.

Santorum will probably sit on this one until two weeks before the election, to not give time for Casey to allow the outrage to diminish.

The only honorable thing to do is for Casey to resign and end his quest for higher office.

That'll happen when pigs grow wings and fly.
