TimChapman writes: "So why is the party embracing Bob Casey, Jr.? Have the liberals who run the show in Washington, DC seen the light? I doubt that. I would argue that Democrats today are even more stringent in theirinsistencee that Democrats toe the party line on abortion…but they have learned to put a pretty face on thatinsistencee. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is pro-life and there are others in Congress who are as well. Democrats will insist that having these token members means they have become more accepting of other view points, but they will never be accepting of a Democrat who seeks to advance that view point. “Believe what you want, but don’t dare act on it,” has become the party mantra." http://timchapmanblog.com/?p=873 has a post that supports my position on this issue.
