PA gives us some interesting results.
Yesterday, 13 incumbants lost races in Pennsylvania. This includes to two top ranking GOPers in the State legislature. After a midnight hour pay raise, a group, PACleanSweep, formed and placed challengers on the ballot to challange the incumbants. As a result, 61 incumbants faced challenges from PACleanSweep and others, the most since 1980. This just goes to show that when voters are disgusted with the actions of politicians, change can happen.
Also, Bob Casey, getting 85 % of the vote, overwhelming won the race to challange Senator Santorum. This is a higher number than I would have expected due to Casey's opposition to abortion. Will Casey capture the Blue Collar middle of the roaders that have been Santorum's margin of victory? That remains to be seen. But, I do imagine that Santorum will be sweating a bit today.

Good for them! They set a fine example for the rest of us.
As for Casey v. Santorum... I suspect that the high number for Casey says a lot more about Santorum than it does about Casey's stance on abortion. The general election will be very interesting.
