Look who's going to get his clock cleaned by Bob Casey

Sam. As in Rohrer.

PoliticsPa reports:

“My effort to get the pieces I need to have in order to do this, I am pursuing 100 percent,” he confirmed.

He stopped short of saying his candidacy was a certainty, citing a few outstanding issues.

“There are a couple of factors that must come together for me to make the final decision to enter, and those are in process.”

C'mon in. The water's fine.

GOP wants State Sen. Kim Ward to run against Casey, because she's a lady

PoliticsPa outlines the strategy:

A source close to the Pennsylvania Republican Party noted (Kim) Ward’s profile as a strong statewide candidate. As a lifelong resident of southwestern Pennsylvania, Ward could cut into Casey’s support in that part of the state. Ward is a respiratory therapist by profession, and could appeal to working-class voters. Additionally, some Republican insiders believe that a female candidate could be more competitive across the state, particularly in southeastern Pennsylvania.

“Kim Ward is very popular, and a woman candidate would be interesting and attractive to a lot of Pennsylvanians,” confirmed Republican strategist Charlie Gerow. “She’s proven herself to be a vote-getter in an area that’s not a Republican-rich environment.”

If she does jump into the fray, she better get cracking on the Twitter. Only 247 followers, no updates since August 27....the teabaggers can help her out.
