63. Backroom deals trying to game Pennsy Senate primary

MyDD has covered this story. But to sum up: Ed Rendell, Governor of Pennsyvania, in order to avoid a costly Senate primary that might affect his re-election plans has been working to prevent this. He has decided on the son of former Gov. Casey and is pressuring potential candidates to drop out.

Casey is a pro-life DLC type candidate similar to the fiasco that allowed Santorum to win the last time.

I'm not in PA, but I donated to him today, just because the party hacks and media are trying to keep him out. I don't want the media saying who is or is not electable again!
