There are a lot of good reasons besides his stand on women's rights to support Pennacchio. He's an extraordinary candidate who will join the ranks of Russ Feingold and John Conyers, who has the potential to become another Paul Wellstone.
By the way, Casey's bad for a lot of other reasons besides his position on human rights. There's a long list of issue positions where Casey looks just like Santorum. Santorum will use this to hold on to the people who might be swayed to Casey, because Santorum is the real conservative, Casey's a fake. Then there's the matter of PAC money. Casey has accepted money from over 100 PACs that have also given to Santorum. Who will he be owing if he wins the senate race? The same people as Santorum!!
It's not surprising that the good 'ol boys among the senate Democrats are betraying the women of the Democratic party. But it is inexcusable that the leaders of the Women's organizations are allowing this to happen. Send them empty envelopes and give them hell. Maybe they'll get started. It's not too late to turn this potential disaster around. Better yet, no matter what state you are in, send them envelopes with photocopies of checks you've contributed to Pennacchio. Show them that you're doing what they should be doing. Supporting the candidate who can move women's rights forward, not backwards.
