PA-Sen: Santorum is toast, say three new polls

In none of these three polls is Pennsylvania Senate incumbent Rick Santorum even within single digits of his opponent.  Democratic challenger Bob Casey is on the verge of knocking off the third-ranking Republican in the Senate.  Below are the polls -- all of which were taken among "likely voters":

Strategic Vision:

(R) Rick Santorum - 39%
(D) Bob Casey - 49%

Key:

(R) Rick Santorum - 38%
(D) Bob Casey - 53%

Quinnipiac:

(R) Rick Santorum - 42%
(D) Bob Casey - 52%

Since the race is pretty much in the books, we can talk about it in past tense.  This was such a great accomplishment for the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania.  We stayed on message the entire campaign season, exposing Mr. Santorum for what he really was: a rubber stamp for the White House, and another vote to prolong the spending and bloodshed in Iraq.  Most importantly, because of this effort, not just for Casey but for other candidates in Pennsylvania as well, the state is trending Democrat.  We are in solid shape for 2008.
