Casey would never survive the primaries and Santorum is unelectable, Corbett is unpopular at the moment but that could change. So by default Toomey because he's kept his head down, although none of them are likely.

If the last option is another way of saying 'none of the above', then that.

Probably the other way around but if JJ's prediction that we are heading to a far-right (he mentioned a future with legally unactionable genetic screening for insurance and jobs and deportations in describing it) realignment is true, I'll go with what he says.

They all have an equal 0% chance. Something I have in common with all of them Tongue

Hm, this is tough. On the one hand, Casey is most likely to get elected, but on the other hand, he is least likely as far as getting out of the primary is concerned.

A friend of mine insists that Corbett has a shot at the Presidency in 2016 if Obama is re-elected. I'm amused by that. 

I would absolutely love to see Toomey as President. I think he's exactly what we need right now. However, I'm not sure that the national electorate would be drawn to him. I think he'd be a perfect running mate for someone like Rubio (if he runs) in 2016: older, more experienced and also from a swing state. I don't know that Toomey would even have a strong desire to run for the Presidency. I'd love to be wrong though.

Casey would only get close to the Presidency if he was picked as someone's running mate. He's still nominally Pro Life so I wouldn't put a lot of money on that happening. Casey would never run for President. He'll run for Governor in 2018, likely win and will end his career exactly how he wanted to.

Honestly, I think you have to go with Santorum by default. Seriously.

Good analysis. I like Casey a lot, but no one with a unibrow is going to win the White House.
