Looking to Pennsylvania we see trouble for Democratic Senator Bob Casey. His numbers aren't terrible nevertheless he is vulnerable. National Research Inc., a Republican polling firm that worked for Governor Chris Christi did a poll of 500 Pennsylvanian in mid September. The results indicated that Democratic Senator Bob Casey is showing early signs of vulnerability. Casey’s favorability rating is 47 percent, his job approval rating is 46 percent, and his ballot score against a generic Republican is 46 percent — figures that are roughly in line with independent polling this year.
He will face one of two fairly strong Republican challengers. Tim Burns is an energetic businessman who twice ran for congress in district 12, Jack Murtha's old seat. Despite the fact that the district contains almost twice as many registered Democrats as Republican he was competitive. Another potential worry for Casey is Colonel John Vernon a retired Army officer who has worked as a civilian in the Defense Department. From 1984 to 1989 he served with 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina so this guy is no sissy. I think we are going to enjoy this race.
