To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Pennsylvania Politics -- Santorum Narrows Gap, But Not Enough
The latest Rasmussen poll shows Rick Santorum slightly narrowing the gap against Democrat challenger Bobby Casey. He still trails by 15 points, 53% to 38%, but that is an improvement over the last Rasmussen poll in November in which he trailed by 20 points.
That's the good news for Santorum, here's the bad:
Casey's support is holding rock solid at 53%-54%. Santorum had hoped that as voters saw more of Casey they would be disillusioned with him, and there was widespread speculation that Casey's strong anti-abortion stance [he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade] would hurt him among Democrats. But that hasn't happened. Even strong pro-abortion Democrats plan to vote for Casey, so great is their hatred for Santorum.
