Not exactly a well known name to me, though I'm not in any party communications loop, it seems like a long shot to go from a small town mayor to US Senate.
It will be interesting to see who is coming out in support of him.
I remember trying to get a replacement for Senator Magic Bullet, Two of those "Very Serious People" in the party structure told us Casey was the only choice that they would support. To me Casey isn't much better than W Va's Manchin.
