You did predict a Santorum before:

Yes, Casey will win as long as he doesn't rest on his laurels, especially now that Santorum seems to be gaining momentum

I actually think Casey is more in tune with PA as a whole, economically and socially, which is why he'll pull it off. Santorum would see off a stock liberal without too much difficulty

Dave

Casey has no laurels to rest on.

Santorum may not be the best campaigner since Truman, but he is an excellent campaigner.

Casey, on the other hand, main campaign is "I'm Bob Casey's son."  That won't be enough.  Santorum in a squeaker.

Hey, I have to give it to Casey; he ran an aggressive campaign and hit really well.  If it hadn't been for his ad, I would still be a leaner, not a definite, for Santorum.

Casey began launching a good assault in mid to late September.

He won't. Santorum is political lunchmeat.

At this point Santorum is toast. He lost the race long ago, too. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but there's something of a grassroots online campaign against him that started in 2003(4?) after his comments about the Lawrence v. Texas case.

Dan Savage, who publishes a sex-advice column, ran a contest to name something unpleasant after Santorum. They voted for a pretty raunchy winner. Just google 'Santorum' and it's the first link that appears. 

I think it goes to show that while politicians can get away with asinine comments 99% of the time, every once in a while it sticks.

Good luck, Sen. Casey!
