Casey in 2006?

This summary over at dailyKos gives an intriguing look at Bob Casey, Jr., as a possible 2006 US Senate opponent to Rick Santorum.

The surprising news on Casey sounds like he may actually be giving the Senate race real thought. Its surprising because Casey has had his heart set on the Governorship for years.

I am interested that they also mention the possibility of a Barbara Hafer candidacy, but nothing about Hoeffel (who gave Arlen Specter a better-than-expected run for his money) or about Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham (who might have ambitions closer to home); these musing probably reflect my Philly-centric view of the state right now...
