Bob Casey '06

A few of us went to a Bob Casey fundraiser at our friend Justin's house last night. For those out-of-staters that may be reading this, Bob Casey (Jr.) is the son of former governor and state legend Robert P. Casey. He's been the Auditor General and he's currently our State Treasurer. In fact, we learned last night that Mr. Casey received the most votes of any state official in history. In any case, the best news is this: HE'S RUNNING AGAINST THE ANTI-CHRIST, MR. RICHARD SANTORUM. That's right, the homosexuality is on par with beastiality guy; the "we need caps on malpractice," but his wife received $500,000 in a malpractice suit guy; the strongest proponent of privatizing social security guy; the "let's fine the people that won't leave New Orleans," guy. Heard of him? But I digress.

Mr. Casey seemed to be very humbled by the early fundraiser. He has a genuine caring for people, not just for those that have the money to give to him, but mostly for those that don't. If you live in PA, get the word out about Bob Casey running against Santorum. Get a buzz going. Get people excited about an alternative to the "extreme and intolerant," Rick Santorum.

I had the pleasure of speaking with him for 30 seconds. Not long, but all he wanted to do was thank me then talk about what I was doing right now. Selfless. Don't get me wrong, I'm not gushing, but I am very excited about the man that will be running against a politician that's about as far to the right as you can be in today's society and still get elected. Wait, there is one man that's worse, but I shouldn't get started on Senator Tom Coburn - (R - OK), who thinks that gays are the gravest threat to our democracy and that abortionists should get the death penalty.

Sorry, I was digressing again. Well, have a happy Thursday...
