So far, they have one unknown teabagger as a candidate. They are trying to recruit a rich guy who can finance his own campaign.

1. They are going to link Casey to Obama as their campaign strategy.

And there is a little "payback" involved here, as Scaringi worked for Santorum! :)

Checking in. Just hoping we come up with someone who can oust Mike Kelly.

3. They know it is a losing proposition ...

His name is just too darn strong. His margins in all of his statewide elections have been pretty signficant. He absolutely clocked Santorum, and love him or hate him, Santorum had raised more money for a senate race than anyone in history and was a serious politician. Beating him is one thing, but Casey just smashed him, and he did not even really go after him.

He is a moderate, and again, because of his name does not have really try to get out in front of things unless it won't hurt him.
