Oh please. He's an incumbent Dim in a state dominated by the unions and the Philadelphia democrat machine. That Senate seat is his for the rest of his life if he wants it. He can drop the pro-life charade any time now, and he just did.

Oh, please. There is no need for Casey to "drop the charade." You're right that he's in a good spot, but the man is a Catholic, and he can vote with his conscience with impunity if he so chooses. Because he is an incumbent, about the only thing that will get him out of office is if he so pisses off pro-life independents who voted for him (and I'm guessing that more than a third of all Catholics describe themselves as such) that they rally to the polls against him.

My guess is that the only time you'll see Casey vote for a pro-life piece of legislation is when Harry Reid is sure he has enough votes to kill it anyway, and allows Casey to "vote his conscience" so he can pander to the folks back home. If they need his vote to push through a bill the abortion lobby wants, they'll have it.

And in exchange, the Dims and the unions will make sure he has plenty of money and manufactured Philly and Pittsburgh ballots to comfortably stay in office, no matter how many pro-life "neanderthals" he hacks off.

JMO.
