So Long Santorum

Every Liberal's least favorite Senator (okay, maybe not, but pretty close...), Mr. Rick Santorum, is up for re-election in 2006. He's often the point man for the White House on numerous ultra-conservative flanks, and yet hails from a state - Pennsylvania - that has gone Blue the last couple of Presidential cycles. It is shaping up as the key battle of the 2006 season, now that Bob Casey Jr.'s way is being cleared in the Democratic primary.

And already there are signs that Santorum is running scared.
