		<description>The guy he was running against was from the stone age.  No brainer there.  Pick the far lesser of two evils.

I know next to nothing about Casey or his opponent Tom Smith.  With Casey being a democrat I imagine his views are more in line with mine on a wide range of issues, even if not on abortion. I doubt Smith was to the left of Casey on abortion anyway, although it&#039;s possible I could be wrong.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Buck?&lt;/p&gt;

I don&#039;t normally poke someone who doesn&#039;t respond to something (I often don&#039;t myself), but I&#039;d really like to see your take on this.

By your definition, not mine, these two men are anti-woman, one of the worst crimes ascribed to Republicans.  Why do they get your support?</description>

		<description>Joe Donnelly is strongly &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Donnelly#Abortion&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;pro-life.&lt;/a&gt;  Bob Casey &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Casey,_Jr.#Tenure&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;supported overturning Roe vs. Wade.&lt;/a&gt;

The sick part is you&#039;d still vote for them anyway.

Does a Democratic party hack have to just stand outside your polling place and ring a little bell?</description>

		<description>of course someone like Elizabeth Warren in the Senate is vastly preferable to someone like me over any moderate republican.   I&#039;d have preferred Lugar over Mourdock, but neither over Joe Donnelly.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Brown didn&#039;t &quot;veer to the right.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2012/2012/11/07/scott-brown-political-star-rose-fast-set-quickly/6iQ8HIC33h6Tsi7i6Mh5PK/story.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Article&lt;/a&gt;

Voted against conservatives constantly.  But I suppose that&#039;s a more useful myth than &quot;crushed by a Democratic machine,&quot; so that&#039;s the one the Democrats will sell, and you&#039;ll buy.

There&#039;s your &quot;moderate,&quot; Buck.  How&#039;d that work out for him when he got between the Democrats and power?</description>
