Is that line graph based on more than two polls?  If not, it's kind of silly.

Er, we're not even halfway through 2005 yet.  The election is in 2006.

I don't know, but it's still pretty hilarious.

Wow, using a line graph with only two entries - how clever! That makes even a 0.1% change look like one person tanking and the other gaining.

Bob Casey goes from 46% to 49% and Santorum from 41% to 36%. That graph makes that look like a huge change, instead of the moderate-sized one it is.

Not that I would not be happy to see him go, but this ain't over 'til it's 2006.

I don't live in Pennsylvania, but I like Rick Santorum.  I think he's an EXCELLENT Senator due to his conservative values.  This country needs more people like him and more conservative politicians.

If you project the trends on that line graph all the way through to election day, Casey will win by about 105%.

Im still confused as to why Santorum is on the front lines of President Bush's push for partial privatization.  Public support for privatization has hit a major road block.

He really believes in it? I know it's hard to comprehend but some people in Washington still do really believe in what they set out to do.

Uh...in regards to the social security idea, he's not doing it for political advantage. It isn't exactly the most popular idea in the state right now.

Of course he's doing it for political advantage, he wants to be majority leader. He knows it's more politically risky NOT to be vocal in support of the President's plan if he wants to move up the ranks.

Unfortunately for him, his political ambitions are making him even more vulnerable for 2006.

We've gotten AARP stuff in the Northeast. Very few pro-privitization ads though.

I've seen 12 ads about the fillibuster today.

Yeah, those are the main ads, now. Both sides are running the ads.

I don't care much for the guy.

But its too soon to say he's done.

Casey IMHO, isn't much better, and he won't have near the clout Rick has...

I'm thinking of getting a tri color dart board

Republican-Dem-Libertarian and just throwing a dart at it blind...since all 3 choices are well...crappy.

Who are the Libertarians planning to run? Perhaps they will have a better nominee than the woman who ran against Specter.

Thats part of the problem...the LP doesn't really have anyone...otherwise I'd be pretty settled on voting for them.

I expect the Libertarians to run a Pro Choice candidate or maybe a stronger than usual Independent.
