The Santorum Slide

I've noted before the polls showing Senator Rick Santorum slipping more and more behind his Democratic rival in his year's Senate race, Democrat Bob Casey Jr. A new Strategic Vision poll - and this is a Republican-backed firm - has the race at 38% Santorum, 52% Casey. That is a very significant deficit for a challenger this far out, and does not bode well for Santorum.

The poll does, however, offer a glimmer of hope for centrism - Casey would be a much better spokesperson for the political center, and I continue to urge Pennsylvanians to consider his campaign.

haha. Perhaps an excellent question. It does seem they're even more off their rockers than usual these days ...

Santorum has a standing fight with the National Weather Service. It is about corporate welfare. The company AccuWeather disseminates weather information it gets from the NWS but starting last year, the NWS cut out the corporate middlemen and started giving out the information directly. In case you are wondering, AccuWeather is located in Pennsylvania. Not surprisingly, Senator Santorum has now made it his mission to take down the National Weather Service. There was a slate piece about it.
