Does anyone know what Casey looks like?

[old and tired]

It has to be close. here in the Philly area, there are virtually no signs - and therefore I must assume no enthusiasm - for Bobby Casey this time around. I belive I have only seen one sign for him and I've seen many for Smith.

In my first ring suburb in Montgomery County, I would say the signs go in order of popularity like this: Romney, Joe Rooney (Republican for Congress), Obama, Smith, and then Casey. Democrats are really unenthused this election.

Interesting.

This is one of a couple of recent polls showing Smith on Casey's heels. This doesn't bode well for Obama. If the coal region isn't backing Casey, then the are certainly not backing Obama.

In the Pittsburgh area I have I have seen exactly zero Casey signs.

I'm actually beginning to think that Tom Smith can suprise the pundits and win this thing. His ads have been hard hitting about Casey's absence and ineffectiveness (save as an Obama rubber stamp). Casey's ads have been the usual template crap about tax breaks for the rich, paying to ship jobs overseas, yada yada yada.

News for Casey: You've been the incumbent for the last six years. Tom Smith is the challenger. Your party has held an absolute majority in the U.S. Senate for all six of those years, dammit!

I'm going out on a limb and predicting that win or lose, Tom Smith is going to get more votes than Mitt Romney in Pennsylvania. So it may be Smith who drags Romney over the finish line and not the other way around.

Tom Smith may win PA but, Romney will not. There is another wave of people that have been coming into PA from NY, NJ and MD. They are the retirees. They have sold their houses there and are moving here to PA. When they worked, they were Union. Now that their pensions depend on the Unions survival they will vote for who ever they are told to vote for.

I will be shocked if I am wrong on this one.

I just went to the PA Dept. of State website and downloaded voter registration data. It is up to date to this week. Yesterday was the last day to register for November election.

While the percentage of D’s and R’s have not changed significantly this year, there is an interesting piece of data. Party change applications for the past year have gone in the Republican direction: 160,769 to 120,418. I think it safe to say that people who go through the motions to change parties are likely to vote.

UH - THIS WAS NOT A PRE-PLANNED ATTACK!

. . . . . . . . . .

[st.eqed]

Now only if we can convince people Casey is pro-life as satan himself. We should get smith easily. Casey is such a lying blowhard, his followers drive me crazy.

Susquehanna huh? That wouldn’t be “The Susquehanna Hat Company’’, would it? There’s a great Abbot and Costello routine about that.
