Santorum's Penn Hills Residence Empty?

I received an email from the Santorum campaign complaining vociferously about the fact someone has Tricky Ricky with his pants down again. It seems the house in Penn Hills that he uses as his official Pennsylvania residence is now empty. The family which was renting it has presumably moved. If you recall the Santorum family of eight actually lives in Leesburg, Virginia. In spite of this they charged the Penn Hills school district taxpayers over $100,000 to pay for the charter school education of their children.

The email from Santorum's campaign manager says this:

You may have seen on the news last night an investigative report that revealed the shocking news of a Casey campaign operative peeking into the windows of the Santorum family home.

Even more shocking, the Casey campaign is embracing these tactics, and yesterday put out false information about the Santorum family, further risking the safety of the Santorum's young children and the security of their home.

I'd like to know how they know this person was a "Casey campaign operative." I know the Casey campaign is completely unethical and he's infamous for running negative campaigns but I'd like to see some proof that this person was connected to their campaign. Also, it seems to me they're assuming someone trespassed to look into their windows. A good set of binoculars might have been sufficient.

Of course this is a smokescreen by the Santorum campaign. They sure don't want the story about Rick's two bedroom primary residence all over the enws again. So they make it into an attack on the Casey campaign. Unfortunately the Casey campaign's previous tactics make this all too easy.

Rick maybe it's time you simply sold the house and admitted you actually live in Virginia. Leave all of us in Pennsylvania to elect one of our own to the Senate. You can get one of those high paying lobbyist jobs so you won't have to keep using your charity's funds to buy your Starbucks coffee every day. I have nothing but sympathy (snark, snark) for your struggle trying to make ends meet on your Senate salary.
