48. I tend to agree

Bob Casey murdered him in his last senate race - even in a state that is a legitimately 50/50 he was so clearly too extreme despite being so formidable.

He just might have been lucky enough to have his turn in the the front nut parade come right at the time actual primary elections are going live. He shows well in Iowa, that might be enough for him to launch through the primary.

BO is a lot like Casey - cool. I imagine that compared to Santorum, he will look good.

And, not sure how any candidate in the final two is going to do when he will freely admit to having itchy trigger fingers with the military. Bad/weak economy or not, Iraq is still in enough people's minds that they are going to have a hard time voting for someone who might have us in a war with Iran before January of 2013 ends.
