In PA, a blue state, but not deep blue, you have a clear choice, Sestak is an unabashed liberal and Toomey is an unabashed conservative."
They say that Pa is a purple state, but I truly believe it's a conservative state, especially outside of Philly. This year, we have clear alternatives in Toomey and Sestak. If you look at Casey's upset over Santorum in 2006, you had a lot of factors going on there. There was the Democrat wave, anger over Santorum's support of Specter over Toomey in the Republican primary and Casey runs touting conservative things (i.e. pro life and pro gun).
Both of those issues have taken a hit during Casey's term in office so I think he's in serious trouble here in 2012. At the beginning of this decade we had a Republican governor and two Republican Senators. We've had the republicans in control of the state legislature here for quite a while. The only thing that the Dems can really pull on here is Philly and union support.

True. Didn’t hurt that Casey’s dad was a well liked and respected governor, either.

Add to Casey's list of problems is that he is as dumb as a box of rocks and doesn't do Townhall Meetings, something Specter was very good at doing.
Does anyone know why Casey doesn't do Townhall Meetings or did I just give away the answer?
