Casey to Pander to Extreme Right?

Bob Casey is scheduled to address the extremist Pennsylvania Pastors Network, a group dedicated to ending separation of church and state. Begun by Colin Hanna, who fought in court to keep a religious display on the Chester County courthouse, the group is strongly supporting avowed theocracy advocate Rick Santorum (R-VA). The Leesburg, Virginia resident is seeking re-election to the United States Senate from Pennsylvania. Casey is his Democratic challenger.

We exposed how Bob Casey pandered to the glbt community by saying he supported issues he was already on record as opposing, and have also shown how he has pandered to the Neo-Christian extremists in his first interview as a candidate for the Senate. Of course some say he was speaking honestly in this interview but pandering to secular Democrats during the primary.

It will be interesting to see what Casey says to this group. His mere desire to do so says quite a bit to me.
