As much as I hate Rick Santorum, I really do feel like we can trust Bob Casey to keep his word and side with us on abortion. The man is an across the board Catholic, and while I disagree with him on many points, he is not a "give the people what they want" liberal in the mold of Hillary Clinton. He is a graduate of Holy Cross College, one of the more conservative religious institutions in the country, and while he is confused about some economic policies, he agrees with the President a lot more than you'd think. He was honest about his views on abortion, and he too some heat from the left for that, but he stuck to his guns. If he went back on that now, he would be a political "man without a country."
I believe the main reason why he calls himself a Democrat is that to do otherwise would be to dishonor his father, the former governor (also a good man).

Horrible typo in the first line of that post. Should have said "As much as I hate the fact that Rick Santorum is no longer in the Senate...

Oh puhhlease.
Casey is a disgrace.
I'm serious... his whole campaign reminded me of that Eddie Murphey movie (The Distinguished Gentlemen) where he had the name of some congressmen who died so he got on the ballet, didn't appear in his commercials, and hoped 'old people' would just say "who did we vote for last time" and click the box.
Thats how Casey ran.
The one time he appeared in a debate (he was afraid to do before and certainly after) on Meet the Press he got owned. He knew nothing, couldn't answer questions and got beat to a pulp.
If daddy wasn't a known name, he wouldn't have had a shot. Alot of good a pro-life guy is in office when he does ABSOULTELY NOTHING about it. (I didn't see him arguing with Boxer, and HARDLY expect it at this point... do you?)
Whats your beef with Santorum anyway... you a troll or a casey staffer or something?
