It’s pretty hard to get a read on what Bob Casey Jr is about. He doesn’t say much. But the Pennacchio team came up with a solution, a Bob on Bob file.
What does Jr. think about the war in Iraq? How about Choice? And PAC money? How about Terri Schiavo? Oooh, and Cheif Justice John Roberts. And what happens when people learn things like this? His numbers go down. In the latest Quinnipiac poll [which once again omitted Pennacchio and Sandals] when the 1447 Pennsylvanians were told that Casey is against a woman’s right to choose, a whopping 22% said that they would not vote in this Senate race.
That 22% number should be headed our way very soon.
So learn more about Bob Casey Jr and be an informed voter at the Democratic primary in May 2006.
Spread the word. Conviction wins. Chuck Pennacchio has conviction. Read all about Chuck’s positions on the issues.
And one last thing. While 63% of Democrats said that they would still vote for Casey Jr after they found out that he was anti-chioce, do the math. Say there are 100 voters. 22% don’t vote, that leaves 78 voters. 63% of those voters would still vote for Jr, that’s 49 votes.
Expect to be flamed off the map very shortly. Though it’s the truth, it’s not very popular with some people.
the people here at BooMan get it. i’m not worried in the least.

Yes, the party’s ‘strategic’ decision to force this candidate upon the rest of us with no debate and the reactions to actual information about just how awful Casey is plus the tortured explanations of the reasons for said ‘strategy’ have all combined to further firm my decision to declare myself an independent and not associate with either political party. Watching ‘pro-life’ Dems during and after Katrina have further strengthened this decision, not to mention reading and occasionally interacting with those employed in the political consultant class.
Other than the ‘D’ after his name and the fact that Casey and Santorum are followers of slightly different religious sects I’m unable to distinguish much difference between Casey and his opponent and none at all when it comes to the lives of most people. A Catholic theocracy would be just as bad as an Evangelical one.
Because I believe that men like Zell Miller running as ‘Democrats’ are far more destructive to any hope for a fair and equatable society and a Justice system worthy of the name, if Casey wins the nomination I hope he loses to Santorum. As the diarist points out with 22% deciding not to vote in the race and Santorum’s probable strategy as obvious as the sunrise, there’s an excellent chance this will happen. When will the Democrats figure out that a.) people are not inclined to vote against their basic civil rights and b.) republicans win by depressing voter turnout? No amount of attacking organizations like Planned Parenthood and NARAL and the voters disinclined to vote for this piece of crap will be helpful to Casey or future Democratic prospects just as the insane pleas that former Democratic voters relinquish their ‘purity’ and ‘values’ and march lockstep behind overpaid and fantastically piss-poor strategists is not helpful spin.
