I hope Rick pulls it out. I hope Casey makes some mistakes in the debates.

Kind of like when Kerry said that W owned a lumber company.
W "I own a lumber company?"
Kerry "YESSS YOU OWN A LUMBER COMPANY"

Coming from a Pennsylvanian, I think this will be one hell of a race. The advantage in the debates goes to Rick- from what I've heard Casey is a lousy debater and is terrible at closing out campaings. it should be interesting.

Santorum by 5%. Take it to the bank.

[Soul Seeker]

Well, I've documented statements from the start stating I never believed he was down by double digits.

Just as I still will question anyone that says the Republican in N.J. is tied or even ahead at times in Jersey.

It doesn't compute with previous election results. And prior over confident predictions from people in N.J....

The real question is whether Santorum, who always has tiight re-relections at around 50-52% can do so again this year. The real question is whether he can grab that 4-5% that puts him with the majority win.

Moreover, Mr. Santorum shares some of the blame for his current predicament. In 2004, he backed liberal Republican Sen. Arlen Specter for re-election over the conservative challenger Pat Toomey.

Any conservative, who can't look past this and see all the good votes Rick has made, probably isn't a Republican anyways. Santorum will get solid support from conservatives...it remains to be seen if he can get the lions share of moderate voters. Pro-life rat Casey will get any pro-life rat votes, but I remain confident we will hold the seat.

Rendell walked all over Casey in the debates.
