http://www.hrc.org/blog/entry/pennsylvania-senator-bob-casey-supports-marriage-equalitySenator Bob Casey (D-PA) is the latest U.S. Senator to announce his support for marriage equality.
In his official statement, Sen. Casey refers to a moving letter he received from a lesbian woman in Southeastern Pennsylvania, writing: "I can no longer in good conscience take a position that denies her and her family the full measure of equality and respect."
We are down to 8. The remaining, we don't give a damn about equality Democrats, are Carper, Heitkamp, Manchin, Landrieu, Pryor, Nelson, Johnson, and Donnelly.

The rest have an excuse because they represent red states. Carper does not.

You keep making yourself a serious Democratic candidate for the next election as opposed to "Well, at least he not (insert name of latest Tea-Bagger/Repug from Pennsylvania)!"
Now, if we could only work on a plan to cover the OTHER senate seat in PA.....
