Poll: Casey strengthens lead over Santorum (18 point lead)

Poll: Casey strengthens lead over Santorum

WASHINGTON - Pennsylvania Treasurer Bob Casey Jr.'s already big lead over Sen. Rick Santorum has grown, according to a poll released Thursday.

The Quinnipiac University poll of 1,530 Pennsylvania voters showed Casey leading the two-term Republican incumbent by 52 to 34 percent - an 18 point lead - in his 2006 bid. That compares to a 50-to-39 percent lead in July by the same pollster.

Santorum is in trouble, said Clay Richards, assistant director of the Hamden, Conn., university's polling institute.

"He has suffered a lot of bad PR in the last two months," Richards said. "That, plus the president's weakening support in Pennsylvania have combined to give him some real bad numbers."

5. 'tis a joke.
Rickey doesn't actually live in PA. He, brood mare and half-dozen homeskooled kidz are all in Virginny.

I'm not sure where the fetus was buried, though.

4. Great line in the article:
"He's apparently gained a lot by just letting Santorum damage himself," Richards said.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

10. Don't pat yourself on the back (yet)
You can BET they'll team up (P)Ricky and Lynn Swann to get those GOP voters out in droves come next year. The question is are the people in PA smart enough (or racist enough, dare I say) to tell them "HELL NO"

12. Awwww, maybe he will have to get a real job
Because when we take over, I hope that the Dems will simply ban any former Republican turned lobbyist from the Capitol. That was our mistake last time, letting the sleazebags hang around Washington getting rich, then committing treason.

13. Crap, I Hope Santorum can Pull This One Out.
I wouldn't want to see him as Attorney General or Director of Homeland Security someday.
