I live in NJ and hope Santorum wins as well. But Casey is not a scumbag Democrat like a Schumer, Clinton, Kerry Kennedy or Harkin. I also hope that Steele wins in Maryland, a state that does not send many Republicans to the US Senate. That will even out the count and keep Dingy Harry off of the Senate Majority Leader's Throne.

I don't care if Casey is wonderful. He will add one vote to the donk caucus and if not balanced by a GOP pickup of a donk seat, it is one less vote for committee chairs and judges and funding the troops, etc.

It takes a very strong person to run on a party platform and then buck the leadership. I only see Ds from the red states doing that, even once in a while.
