Santorum falling further behind

[RightIsWrong]

Could Zendari be wrong? Could America be getting fed up with radical Christianism? One of the leaders of the movement is falling further and further behind his potential opponent in next year's midterms.

Let's hope that Train's comments are accurate:

Is that why theres been a continuous population shift from blue to red states since 2000?

Lower taxes, more jobs, ya those red states are really dragging the country down.

If more of us are moving to the "Red" states, maybe control will swing back to the left. After all, they aren't as red as they used to be and most of the incumbent repubs are trailing right now. If Bush continues like he is, they will have to either attach to him to keep their conservative appearance and strap on all the baggage he has or abandon him and feel the wrath of the Religious Right.

Casey's lead over Santorum grows in Senate matchup

Pennsylvania State Treasurer Bob Casey Jr.'s lead over Sen. Rick Santorum grew slightly greater in a poll released today.

The Quinnipiac University poll of 1,530 Pennsylvania voters showed Casey leading the two-term 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.

"He's in trouble in this race," 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. That, plus the president's weakening support in Pennsylvania have combined to give him some real bad numbers."

Those polled disapproved 61-to-37 percent of the job President Bush is doing, his lowest score on the poll, down from a 53-to-44 percent disapproval in July.

Santorum, a conservative and the No. 3 Senate Republican, spent part of the summer promoting his new book, "It Takes a Family," on television talk shows. The book compares abortion to slavery and accuses feminists of undermining motherhood.

Casey, the son of a popular late governor, has maintained a low profile and done a limited number of media interviews.

"He's apparently gained a lot by just letting Santorum damage himself," Richards said.

Richards said the only good news for Santorum from the poll is that he has 14 months until the election.

Santorum's job approval rating on the poll was split with 43 percent approving and 41 disapproving, down from 51 percent approval and 35 percent disapproval in July.

Santorum was viewed favorably by 33 percent of the electorate, and Casey was viewed favorably by 38 percent, the poll found. But 33 percent said they did not yet know enough about Casey, the poll found.

Casey was viewed unfavorably by 9 percent of those polled compared to 30 percent who viewed Santorum unfavorably.

Casey is widely considered the Democratic front-runner in the race. Those polled were not asked about any other Democrats running against Casey in the primary.

The telephone survey, conducted from Sept. 27 to Monday, had a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

This guy's most significant "prospective" contribution to PA (and the nation) was to make us pay for info from the US Weather Service.

See ya!

I gave money to Casey and I live hundreds of miles from PA. Down with Santorum!

Great news. The country will be significantly better-off the day this lunatic leaves the Senate.

Yup, it happened in 2000. And 2002. And 2004.

They are moving to the Red states because they are fed up with liberals!
