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.
