Santorum is toast

[Moooooo]

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.

[Moooooo]

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.

Yeah, because we all know Slick Rick isn't into playing politics.

[Moooooo]

Phil, have you guys been hit with any TV/Radio Ad's up there in PA, yet?

[Moooooo]

Yeah, Burns is safe.  33% re-elect num. and scandals galore, but he's safe alright.

[Moooooo]

Burns should be fine only because there's no real opponent to take him down. Schweitzer would win easily but he's obviously not running.

Look, names are nice, but let's keep Casey in perspective. He's an ideological relic, his dad is overrated in hindsight, and he's not his dad. I'm just not buying. Of course the GOP is putting out little press releases on Casey, everyone does that 24/7/365. But I mean REALLY hit him, like a $20 million broadside. We'll see how much is left of Casey then.

I agree on Casey.  Ive predicted a Casey loss since the beginning.  Once the campaign fires up he'll buckle and his numbers will sink.

Hopefully Casey will run a campaign similar to Kilgores down in Virginia.  He is obviously no match for Santorum when it comes to debating, stump speeches, rallies, etc.

Burns on the other hand.  I could see Tester taking him down.

[Moooooo]

What's his disapproval rating among likely voters? Anyway, the point is that if he is in serious danger, he may just drop out and let the Republican representative take the nomination.

Not sure.  Id have to dig up the poll.

Thats definitley a possibility.  Ive actually heard that rumor before.

[Moooooo]

I have'nt been following the Virginia gubernatorial race as much as I should... Is it true Kilgore refuses to debate Kaine?  I heard that somewhere, but I wasnt sure if it was true.

[Moooooo]

Ellsworth is supposedly already off the list.

If Casey has breathed wrong, the GOP will make him pay for it. His lack of accomplishments-- while insulating him from huge mistakes-- will be a key point.

I hope your not assuming that the Santorum campaign will be the only one attacking.  Casey has some pretty nice "ammo" to use on Santorum.  SS, Schiavo, The Nuclear Option, Penn Hills, 40 hour work week, etc...
