Casey at bat
Saturday, March 29, 2008 at 07:50AM Pennsylvania's pro-life Democratic Senator Bob Casey, son of former Governor Bob Casey, endorsed Barak Obama today after vowing to stay neutral in the race.
"I believe in this guy like I have never believed in a candidate in my life," he told the New York Times. "Except my father; I campaigned hard for him."
Casey's endorsement could help Obama where he needs it the most: with working-class and ethnic white voters in the rural parts of the state, as he intends to aggressively campaign for Obama over the next few weeks.
There's speculation that Casey was motivated, in part, to avenge his late father, who had long feuded with President Bill Clinton over the abortion issue (senior Casey was outspokenly pro-life). The feud got so heated that President Clinton blocked Governor Casey from addressing the Democratic National Convention in 1992, and in 1996 Casey toyed with the idea of challenging Clinton in the primaries (he gave up the cause after undergoing a liver and heart transplant). No word yet if President Clinton plans to join the fray in Pennsylvania for another go-round with a Casey.

I will never vote for Bob Casey again, since he endorsed an anti-American for president. As president of my local union, and as a member of the VFW, all those I speak to on politics will hear and understand my views. I hope his gains in the Democratic party are worth what this will cost him and the Democratic party in the end. We need patriotic Americans in office before we ruin the greatest country in the world. The Democratic party doesn't want to count Florida or Michigan votes, and are asking not to even count our state's votes by pushing Hillary to drop out. Evidently, Bob Casey agrees with not counting our votes. I wish I could take back the vote I gave him before.
It’s really a nice and helpful piece of information.
