Yes, the Democrats can botch the opportunity

The Democrats have a chance to take back the Senate in November but it's beginning to look like they will botch it. Attywood tells us this morning that the moronic Sen. Rick Santorum is gaining on the hapless Democratic candidate, Bob Casey Jr, not because Santorum is looking better but because Casey is looking like he is no better.

Does it help that Casey is an inept candidate who seems to offer no difference from Santorum on Iraq, on abortion and related social issues, and on right-wing justices like Sam Alito?

Then right across the Columbia River from me we have Sen. Maria Cantwell who is taking Hillary Clinton's cue and running as a new improved Goddess of War. Natasha over at Pacific Views has the details.
