PA: Santorum Within 6%

[Moooooo]

Keystone Franklin and Marshal Poll

PENNSYLVANIA SENATE
Bob Casey (D) 47%
Rick Santorum (R) 41%

[Yates]

With the division of the left (Michelman) and a lackluster campaign by Casey, these numbers can hardly come as unexpected.  This reminds me of the campaign of 1948.  Dewey was confident of victory; so confident, in fact, that he barely campaigned, preferring to utter vague statements instead of ideas.  Harry Truman toured the nation, campaigning hard, as Santorum is doing in Pennsylvania.  If Casey were to run a decent campaign, he would be lightyears ahead of Santorum.  As it is, this race is a tossup.

An outlier by some polling company I've never heard of. Snore. Next.

Poll is still not up yet.

However, I beat you to it by two hours in the PA Senate race thread.

PA Senate thread is for losers.  Winners post on the main board.

Even 6% is not a tossup, far from. Not credible pollster either, as far as I know. And it could be an out-lier.

Ah, uni poll. Nuff said. I wouldn't get too excited over an outlier by a uni poll, Santorum fans.

If Casey's being lacklustre, now's the time he wasn't . I agree he needs to take a leaf out of Truman's book and give Santorum hell. This is no time to give he who doth protest too much a free hand

I said it once, and Ill say it again:

the slippery slope of Mt. Casey.

Seemingly, you'd prefer Rick. Cos that's exactly who you are gonna get unless liberal and populist Democrats; and moderate independents, rally around Casey

Democrats need 6 pick-ups to effectively wrest control of the Senate
