Pennsylvania Politics -- Santorum Sinks, Or Does He?

Rasmussen reports that Rick Santorum still trails Bob Casey bu 13 points: 51% to 38%. Santorum is not gaining ground and at this point sure looks like a loser.

Read it here.

But then there's this. The Muhlenberg College Poll reports that Casey's lead has shrunk to 8 points, 46% to 38%, down from 12 points in the last survey.

So is there movement, or isn't there? There is no indication that Santorum is picking up support, but Casey seems to be coming down to earth a bit. At this point it's far too early to say just what this portends but it seems that this race is Casey's to win or lose.

And the same poll shows Ed Rendell with a narrow 6 point lead over Lynn Swann -- not much change from the last poll.

At this point most voters really aren't paying much attention to what's going on. The Democrats are starting in a good position. Swann is just getting out of the starting blocks. The next few months are going to be crucial.

Stay tuned.
