In one of CT’s Races to Watch, Pennsylvania State Treasurer Bob Casey Jr. has defeated Republican Sen. Rick Santorum. Two years ago after Democrats suffered across-the-board defeats, they circled this race. Political observers widely expected Santorum would lose, but it bears mentioning that one of Time magazine’s top 25 evangelicals will not return to his leadership position in the Senate. It will be very interesting to watch Casey’s voting record in the Senate, to see if he can become a champion for Religious Left values issues and maintain a meaningful pro-life record.
