The comeback bigot?

Is Rick Santorum making a comeback in Pennsylvania's Senate race? Perhaps. According to a new Quinnipiac poll, the gap between the bigoted, bestiality-minded right-wing incumbent (and, here at The Reaction, one of our least favourite politicians in the history of politics) and challenger Bob Casey has narrowed from 18 points to 6 points over the past two months. The AP has the story here.

It should come as no surprise that the race has tightened, just as the Casey campaign expected. And there's still a long, long way to go. Santorum has a lot of money and may be counting on the Nader-like Green candidate, Carl Romanelli, to shave off some of Casey's support. Still, Casey is a strong candidate, the right kind of moderate Democrat for Pennsylvania. Let's hope he holds on to his lead through election day.
