As you and others have pointed out, Casey won't be nominated because Democrats biggest beef with Santorum is on abortion, so liberals will pour in money for a pro-choice candidate, not Casey.
I agree. The Democrats need to be ENERGIZED on this one. Labor along with the Starbucks liberals need to be united on this. Sure picking a Hoeffel will take some working class conservative Dems away, but we need the Society Hill/Manayunk/Montgomery County liberals behind someone and get a good portion of Northeast Philly/South Philly/Anthracite Country/Steel Valley labor behind the same candidate. Granted Bob Casey would unanimously get the latter but alienate the Society Hill liberals. A Hoeffel would only take out a small fraction of conservative Dems to Santorum.
