Casey is an empty suit without the suit, a null and void airhead who conducted a stealth campaign because he was afraid to let everyone see what an idiot he is (and of course the MSM cooperated to protect him). What a travesty for my former home of PA to elect that vacuum over a good conservative like Santorum. Doesn't look so good for Weldon or Irey, either, though I don't know enough about those counties and precincts to know if the votes being reported are representative. If Sandy Burglar's puppet Sestak manages to knock off Weldon I'll be even more pissed, and I really can't stand that the wonderful Diane Irey could lose to a corrupt and decadent turkey like Murtha.
PA used to have one of the finest senators in the country. Now all they have is a stuffed shirt and a mortician.
Yes, the perfectly groomed, power hungry lackey to do Rendell's bidding. Creepy, scary, useless. And if just one tiny bit of the Philly fraud stories are true, the Dems are taking a strange, dark turn, or maybe just stranger and darker. But it worked. Casey rode on Daddy's coattails (may Casey Sr rest in peace, he was a much classier guy) and sh-meared Santorum in one of the dirtiest (one way) campaigns I've seen. And now we're stuck with him.
And, in addition, Casey pretended to be all high and mighty because he was in Scranton and Santorum's family in VA (for his kids to be nearer to Dad's work), and the word I've heard form GOP'ers from Pittsburgh area is that one of the reasons Santorum left is because the Union guys made such overt threats to him and his family, the same union guys who loved Casey.

I can scarcely believe it. I knew that the Dems would go after him hard, if just for all his pro-life work, but I never imagined a classless no-talent lackey like Casey would be the one to defeat him. No orations, just commercials smearing Rick and commercial after commercial showing him with union guys. And they attacked Weldon with the same veracity. I wasn't sure that Irey could pull it off in that huge Dem area, but who imagined the attacks on Weldon? It's like the Dems have sat around for the last couple years not planning strategy, not planning ideas or ways to win the public, but have planned ways to smear the opposition. A dirty, policy-free campaign. And you know, since Rendell is such a big fan of NY and wants PA to go the directions of NY vis a vis education (just look at his dumbing down in 4 years) and slot machines, ugh, you know he had to have help of Senators of NY (I can't type their names, ugh). Next for us - more taxes (where is that promised property tax relief?) and gun control.
to a corrupt and decadent turkey like Murtha.
He's like our own Ted Kennedy. Bloated, corrupt. And echoing Kerry's attack on our soldiers has apparently helped him win again.
