Spent some wonderful days in coastal Maine and the islands, cut off from all the major amenities of life, like TV and the internet. More on that later -- we are in Freeport and "She" demands that I accompany her shopping. Meanwhile, catching up on the political news, I note that Santorum is inching closer to Casey in the Pennsylvania Senatorial Race. The latest Keystone poll has Casey up by a scant five points, 44-39 percent. That's not good for Casey, whose numbers are dropping precipitously. The large number of undecideds mean that although Casey is losing voters, Rick isn't picking them up. Pennsylvanian's may be holding their nose in the ballot box this fall, and if they do, Rick will probably win.
And, Rasmussen has Casey holding an eight point advantage -- 48-40 percent. Nothing new there except to note that Rick is within striking range.
Note also -- RCP says that Charlie Cook is now calling this race a "tossup."

Tim Chapman, writing in the National Review, sees a number of parallels between the Casey/Santorum race and the 2002 Arkansas race between Tim Hutchinson and Mark Pryor. He feels that Santorum's fund-raising prowess and his foreign policy hawkishness will provide him with the momentum necessary to win this fall.
We can hope.
