Casey over Santorum by 16%, Casey over Pennachio by 62%

[Sam Spade]

Santorum is most likely toast, barring Casey campaigning worse than he normally does.  I do expect this to tighten, however, once the actual campaigning really starts.

There could also be a real anti-incumbent mood in PA come 2006, I do believe that, as well as across the Ohio Valley.  If major changes occur, expect them to be there, as opposed to other areas of the country.

*Caveat:  This is a really early, gut estimation.  I could be dead wrong.

President Bush likes to belittle people by giving them nicknames. Perhaps it's time to assign our commander in chief a nickname of his own: "Typhoid Dubya."

"Belittle"?

Demean

"Demean"?  I don't know why you think that.  A lot of people like to asign nicknames to others around them.  Just as long as the nicknames aren't offensive, I don't see why anyone should be bothered by it.  You guys are reaching with this one.

Imagine that you are the President of Russia. Would you want to be called "pootie poot?"

I talked to a fairly big political insider personally and he said about 8-10% for Casey even given a liberal 3rd party.  Sounds about right.
