PA-Sen: Former NARAL head Kate Michelman is considering a 3rd party run

[Ignacio Upton]

While I don't like Casey's stance on the right to choose, I recognize that if we can get another "D" into our side of the Senate, we will be able to kill the next SCOTUS nominee in committee, and not even worry about bringing him or her to the floor or need to use a filibuster. By having another Democrat in our ranks, he or she will vote for Harry Reid to be Majority Leader, and as long as Casey doesn't get a spot on the Judiciary Committee, I don't think his presence will be a problem. Unfortunately, Casey may be getting a challenge from former NARAL head Kate Michelman. I wish that she would run in the primary instead (hell she would probably do much better than Chuck Pennacchio, who doesn't have a chance despite being a hell of a candidate ideologically-speaking.)

This MyDD diary sums up my opinion better than I can in terms of elaborating:
