5. Let's be honest here...
First off---I hate Rick Sanitarium. He's on the bottom of the Republican vermin heap. However, he OWNED the debate
on MTP. He looked strong, confident and reasonable. Do you know how much it hurts me to say that??? I disagree
with everything Sanitarium stands for!

Casey managed to get in a few great zingers. However, Sanitarium emasculated Casey. Casey looked like a little
boy who wanted to get in the sandbox, but just couldn't find the courage to step his toe in.

Making this worse, was Tim Russert's vile questions. Asking Casey if the Democrats had been acting like "obstructionists"
was truly revolting. HELLO???? We're the opposition party, Tim!! Voting against this administration's absurd and perverse
policies is not only our job---it's all we CAN do while the Republicans control the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches
of government!! Ok, why didn't Casey say that? He looked weak. I don't mean to criticize a fellow Dem. However, if we
are going to win ANYTHING this November, we've got to be just as tough and aggressive as our opponents.

Casey did NOT win this round. He LOST against one of the most sickening Senate members. He allowed Sanitarium to
publicly neuter him.

I hope to God Casey understands that Sanitarium will interrupt, lie like a dog (I stopped counting the lies there were
so many!!) and distort the truth. Maybe that will help Casey re-strategize for the next meeting with Ricky.

7. Heads up, Dems
Here's the first sign of what's to come. Be prepared, fight back. This is our last chance.

10. You must of seen a different interview
Cause I saw ole Rick on the verge of a global meltdown.. Casey was throwing some good zippers in on him and he was on the defensive, especially about his home-schooling bill...

True, Russert was inserting his usual rhetoric, but Casey answered the questions well...

11. Casey won't win based on how well he runs
He's never really had to run a real election before. He barely ran in the primaries, he barely ran for treasurer, he barely ran for everything. Relied always on name recognition.

Casey's best chance of keeping his numbers up is to just keep reminding people how bat shit crazy Santorum is in tv commercials, and flyers, and the like.

Nationally people seem to think this seat is a sure victory because of early poll numbers. Believe me, here in Pennsylvania we know differently. Casey is not a dream candidate to be sure, and can very easily lose this state if we dont' help turn it around.

20. "]W]e've got to be just as tough and aggressive as our opponents."
ABSOLUTELY! This has ALWAYS been a problem, since Mayor Daley left the scene! It's like all the Democratic testosterone went to the WOMEN (Boxer, Pe;osi, et al.)!!
THIS is the REAL WAR, people, and the gloves must come off!

12. Casey shouldn't have debated on Meet the Prostitute
When will Dems ever figure Tim russert out. There was no upside to this debate for Casey.

15. Timmy didn't control the show-let Santorum shout out Casey .
Santorum has a loud shrill voice, Casey has a soft deep voice. Santorum shouted over al Casey's responses, interrupting him, and Timmy did nothing!

17. Russert asked Casey, " Do we need more troops in Iraq?"
Casey said, "We need accountability in Iraq" Nailed it dead on....
