Casey's base problem

Yesterday Bob Casey, Jr. announced his support for the Alito nomination. Today, the liberal base - particularly in the blogosphere - is fuming.

What Mr. Casey needs to learn is that the game isn't decided simply by saying "the Santorum-haters have nobody else to support, ha ha ha." We can still be dispirited by your candidacy, and sit back and not help very much, and write lots of bad things about you on a regular basis because you often kind of make us sick. That will affect your fundraising, your media, and your get-out-the-vote. And if you don't think any of that matters, then you don't deserve to be a Senator.

Daily Kos:

I don't understand why given his poor relations with the Pennsylvania Democratic base -- you know, the people supposed to bust their humps for him in October and November -- he thought it necessary to give them a big middle finger.

Eshaton:

Casey hasn't just demonstrated he's an a#$@%, he's also demonstrated that he has the political instincts of a fig.

Booman Tribune:

No one I know wants to vote for Bob Casey Jr. No one I know wants to work for Bob Casey Jr. I can't tell you how many people are so pissed off about Bob Casey Jr. that they don't feel like voting or working for any Democrats this year.
One wonders why Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy and Barbara Boxer are not fuming? Oh yeah, this is why...
