Bob Casey, Jr. Planning To Run Against Rick Santorum...
This is very good news for the Dems, and very bad news for Senator "Man-On-Dog"...
On a personal note, my family, which is comprised of all staunch Republicans and one liberal Democrat (that being me) loved Casey's father when he was governor of Pennsylvania. I'm guessing that they're not alone in this sentiment.
Name recognition is everything in politics, especially in PA politics. A name like "Casey" in Pennsylvania is on the same level as the name "Hunt" is here in North Carolina.
P.S. There could be a couple of oddball races for Senate seats next year. First, in PA where a Casey win would give the state an anti-choice Democrat and a pro-choice Republican in the Senate.
In Rhode Island, Jim Langevin, a popular anti-choice Democrat has a good chance of unseating incumbent pro-choice Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee.
Strange days, indeed...
UPDATE: PoliticsPA is saying that Casey's announcement is imminent...
