Eyewitness report from Ground Zero:
- Bob Casey did everything he could to delude and mislead our massive legions of elderly voters into thinking he was actually his late father, a very popular Governor. You always heard about him but rarely ever saw him. I suspect a large number of our older voters thought they were voting for the late Governor.
- He reassured the huge number of Catholic voters that, like his father, he was pro-life, and he would never ever ever ever EVER EVER vote to pass a health care plan which would force us to pay for that. (suckers!)
- He ran around telling all our Seasoned Citizens that the reason they did not have even more free goodies from their Government was that the Eeeeeeevil Warmonger George W. Bush was taking all the money that should have been used to buy their prescriptions and free bus passes, and was flushing it all down a rathole in Iraq.
- The teachers union camped out on the lawn of Rick’s home and documented that he was rarely there. Then they, with massive amounts of help from the mainstream media, built up this big, ridiculous Potemkin Village issue that he no longer really lived in Pennsylvania, and, as a result, was ripping off the taxpayers in his school district for the online schooling of his kids.
- A lot of white, working class Pennsylvanians are just genetically pre-programmed to pull the lever for the Democrat, cause “they’re for the Workin’ Man!”
I realize little of that makes sense if you’re not from around here. Keep in mind this region kept sending a treasonous criminal back to the US Congress for 3 decades, simply because he brought home the pork. For the Workin’ Man!
I should also add that Casey was in some ways atypical of their Senate candidates, in that he was not an uber-Lib from Philadelphia. For years the Dems kept making the mistake of nominating guys like that (Harris Wofford, Joe Sestak, Bob Edgar, et. al.) who were so culturally offensive to white working class voters in other parts of the state, it sent them kicking and screaming into the GOP column.
Casey on the other hand was a Good O’ Boy from Scranton.
Like Slow Joe Biden, they were comfortable with him.
