Casey says he may be "too old" to run in 2010

He said Rendell will consider this request, along with other worthy appeals, when making budget decisions. Age raises doubt in Casey At 58, U.S. Sen.-elect Bob Casey Jr. said he might be too old to run for governor.

Casey, the departing state treasurer, said in a news conference last week that he looks forward to his six-year term in the Senate, which starts in January. If he's lucky, he might get to serve a second term, he said.

By then, running for governor might be out of the question.

"I'm going to be a fairly older man at that point," he said.

He said that after 2 terms, not in 2010. Kind of hinting that he will run in 2010.

Of course, Rendell was 58 when he ran for his first term, so that's certainly not true.

So he's basically lying about serving a full term. Thanks.

*tries to care*

Sorry, I can't. The only things I do care about:

1-Rick Santorum will soon no longer be in the Senate
2-Harry Reid will soon by Majority Leader

Well if he runs for reelection, the seat is safe D, if he doesn't, it's a tossup, so Republicans probably shouldn't want him to run for reelection.

Assuming Casey doesn't run in 2010 though, it makes sense. If a Democrat wins in 2010, there will be no open Democratic primary until 2018. Of course he'll be the same age as Rendell in 2000 then so it's hardly too old, but whatever. Casey would have a chance in 2014 though if a Republican wins.

I don't know who the Democrats would run without Casey. Tom Corbett would make a pretty good candidate for the Republicans though.
