Flyers.... What are you thinking?
Right now our focus should be booting Santorum out of office. I don't care who our candidate is as long as he's not a whack...
Casey is our best chance at picking this seat up so why run someone who won't have half as much of a chance at winning.
Sorry Mr. Blue Dog, I do care about who it is!
So you’d opt for a failed candidate who’s already proven himself to a weak state-wide candidate against a battered incumbent in a presidential year when the Democrats won the state over a candidate with the highest approval ratings in the state who leads an incumbent senator by over 10 points and appeals not only to the Democratic base but also to ordinary Pennsylvanians who may have previously voted for Santorum.
The Philly suburbs will turnout and vote for Casey for the simple reason he’s not Santorum and can win if nothing else at the same time the Philly area is one area where Rendell at the top of the ballot will draw the Democrats out if Casey doesn’t. While this happens Casey will win in Western PA and probably wrap up a win… Hoeffel would bomb in western PA and is a weak campaigner.
Polls show Casey with 80%+ amongst self identified liberal voters, that’s more than Hoeffel got in 2004 what more Casey beats Santorum amongst groups where Hoeffel would never come close. You fears are completely unfounded; anyone running at 80+ amongst liberal will win Philly handily, and if there beating the Republican candidate amongst married voters then their favoured to win the general election.
