Casey Leads Santorum in Senate Match-Up

Casey’s showing a fourteen point lead according to this. Still, we’re talking about a race that won’t begin in earnest til a year from now. Plus, one wonders how much Pennsylvanians really know about Bob Casey, Jr. Granted he was elected overwhelmingly to the post of state treasurer last year, but I expect he’s still coasting on name recognition to a large degree.

Santorum, whatever one thinks of his performance as a Senator, is no fool; he’s been moderating his positions (or at least appearing to moderate them) on things like the death penalty and the minimum wage recently. Not to mention his support for the “moderate” pro-choice Arlen Specter last year against his pro-life challenger Pat Toomey. I’m guessing it’ll be a close race.
