Rick Santorum must defeat Democrat Bob Casey in the November election to hold his seat in the U.S. Senate and keep the Republicans in control of that body. Casey won his victory with 85 percent of the Democratic vote. Liberals Chuck Pennacchio (9 percent) and Alan Sandals (6 percent) got some votes, but it's clear that Democrats think the best way to beat Santourm is to unite behind a socially conservative Democrat.
Santorum has challenged Casey to 10 debates, four on national TV and six in the state. Casey will have to accept some of those debates if only to show he is not afraid of Santorum. Make no mistake, this is the most important race. If Democrats have any hope of winning the six Senate seats they need to take control of the U.S. Senate during the last two years of the Bush administration, it begins right here in Pennsylvania.
The Democrats also must win 15 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to take it back after 12 years of Republican control, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has its eyes set on Pennsylvania for many of those 15 seats.
You participation in the campaigns and election will chart the course for the entire country!
