	Casey vs. Santorum Salon.com
		In Bob Casey Jr., the anti-choice son of the late Pennsylvania governor, the party sees its chance to oust the poster boy of the right who posed as saint-in-waiting on the cover of the New York Times Magazine, is a loyal supporter of President Bush, and is the No. 3 leader in the GOP Senate.
		Casey, whose late father was a staple of state politics for a generation and a two-term governor, was recruited to run against the conservative Santorum primarily because of his anti-choice views.
		Casey, for example, though widely liked and admired, did not do well in a 2002 run for governor, a race far different than the three low-profile state row-office campaigns he's won.

	Chuck Pennacchio for United States Senate 2006
		Bob Casey Jr.’s statement of support for the Alito nomination yesterday is a slap in the face of every Pennsylvanian who believes in privacy rights, abortion rights, civil rights, worker’s rights, and reasonable limits on presidential power and the government’s power to search and seize its own citizens.

		If Pennsylvania voters needed more proof of how Bob Casey's strategy of disengagement, avoiding voters, and voicing Republican stands on important issues is risking our chances of victory in 2006, this poll should do it.

	Patrick Ruffini :: Bob Casey, Jr.'s Lead Trial Balloon
		On paper, Casey should be able to beat Rendell with a dollop of irresponsible left-labor populism of the sort that Democratic primary voters usually greet with favorable Pavlovian assent.
		The Shrum-created Casey may use the word "fight" in his campaign slogan, but his drab persona signals nothing of the kind, and the contrast between the two strikes voters as the signature of inauthenticity.
		A Casey candidacy wouldn't energize Democrats in the eastern half of the state, increasingly the heart and soul of the party.

	Booman Tribune ~ A Progressive Community
		Bob Casey, the son of a former Pennsylvania Governor with the same name, has been running a pretty much invisible campaign, ducking debates in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh where extensive media coverage would be insured, and referring most press inquiries to his campaign manager, rather than offering up his own sound bites.
		The current situation is eerily reminiscent of the 2002 Pennsylvania Gubernatorial race when Bob Casey squandered a double-digit lead in the early polls, eventually suffering a double-digit defeat in the primary to Ed Rendell, who went on to win the governorship.
		Casey is a very conservative Democrat whose positions on the issues are often indistinguishable from Rick Santorum's, and his stealth campaign seems geared toward shielding the voters from learning too much about where he stands on the issues.

		Their pick is Bob Casey, the anti-abortion, and hence anti-women’s rights son of a former governor.
		If Casey wins the primary and then beats Santorum, the DLC and the rest of the centrist, republican-lites in disguise as democrats will use the victory as an argument to further remove the spine from the democratic party as they push it further towards the center, so it looks even more like the republican party.

	Running Scared: Finally and end to Santorum?
		The Democrats may not be wild about Bob Casey jr.
