Senator Dole On Pennsylvania General Election

Senator Elizabeth Dole said regarding the general election match up now set in Pennsylvania between State Treasurer Bob Casey Jr. and Senator Rick Santorum:

“Now that the general election is underway, maybe it’s time for ‘Silent Bob’ to articulate his positions on key issues. By contrast, it will be Rick Santorum’s clarity of conviction and proven record of results that will return him to the United States Senate.”

Casey Jr. Said He Didn’t Think The Race Should Be “A Discussion About Public Policy.”

Bob Casey, Jr.: “This isn’t a discussion about public policy, this is an election, and politics in this state is a contact sport.” (Roger Dupuis, “Casey Looking Ahead To November Race,” Scranton Times-Tribune, May 17, 2006)
