Santorum 'Closing the Gap'

Anybody heard the rumors? The topic of the Republican noise machine's incessant blathering has happened across my home state and is spreading it's disinformation as usual.

For all the strident GOoPer shouting and arm-waving, the newly 'competitive' race between Rick Santorum and Bob Casey, Jr has just been polled by Rasmussen and Casey leads, 50% to 39%.

Yes, 11 points could be made up between now and November. But let's look at it this way: Among likely voters, 89% have already chosen a candidate. That leaves... 11% of likely voters undecided. ALL of them would have to break for Santorum, a Republican incumbent well below 50% approval rating, for him to break even.

Santorum was never a good fit for Pennsylvania. (Maybe because he and his family actually live in Virginia.) Between his low popularity, the disastrously low approval rating of George W. Bush in the Keystone State, and his Far-Right politics, I'm just not seeing him being re-elected.
