Down's New Predictions

[Conan]

It's only too bad we are stuck with Casey because we didnt have to compromise in PA.

That maybe the biggest things for Dems to look at, what are you gaining in Casey?  He's another vote for the Bush agenda basically, he is as conservative if not more conservative than Ben Nelson.  Good luck, it's basically like us losing Chaffee, who cares?

Casey is better than Nelson on economic issues, Casey is a HUGE step above Santorum.

I would say he is more of a Bill Nelson or a Carper.  I dont expect him to vote on anything that most democrats wont vote for. Only pretty much abortion. I suspect he'd only vote dem 85% of the time or 90. Def not a vote for Bush agenda though.

Considering he will join Benny Nelson as the only other pro-life Democrat in the senate, he certainly will be more conservative than his senate partner from PA, that moron Specter

On social issues, yes, not really on economic issues, Casey is pretty much a populist.  I'm not exactly a Casey fan, however he is MUCH MUCH better than the alternative that is there now in Rick Santorum.

There are other issues besides abortion. I would have overlooked Casey's anti-choice views if he hadn't come out for Alito.

[Jake]

Casey is a Democrat who opposes partial birth abortion. That's not exactly a social conservative, much less a conservative at all.

[gorkay]

I will repeat this once more... barring some incredibly unforeseen circumstance, neither Santorum nor DeWine has a chance.

And if Santorum thinks he's going to run for President after losing a Senate seat for the Republicans, as he is apparently deluding himself into thinking, he better get prepared to get laughed out of the race. I know he thinks he can appeal to the extreme rightists in the Republican party, but even they have plenty of other, better options than him.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Casey will probably have a rating from Progressive Punch around 75% or so. Abortion isn't every issue. He's far more liberal than Nelson and is hardly a conservative. I'd prefer someone more liberal, but I can live with Casey, especially since he's not going to be in that seat for very long anyway (hopefully he appoints a liberal to replace him once he's governor)

There are many other prolife dems in the senate such as Harry Reid and then there are others depending on the degree of pro life.
