Today Sen. Casey voted against a resolution preventing the EPA from enacting new regulations on pollution and air safety. Its critics say the EPA rules will slow down the coal industry and make costs go up, but Casey said he voted his conscience to put health before profit.
Avast! This day, Senator Pat Toomey came out in opposition to th’ United Nations’ Law ‘o th’ Sea Treaty, which he said risks American interests.
Barack Obama gave Bob Casey the kind of praise on Tuesday that would have given a Dem candidate heartburn in 2010. Among other accolades the President said Casey, “has always had my back”. Naturally, Tom Smith jumped on the comment. But is Obama, who polls ahead in PA, really a liability for Casey?
GOP Senate candidate Tom Smith joined southwestern PA Republicans at a Wednesday news conference in Pittsburgh. They criticized President Obama for EPA regulations against the coal industry, which they say raised energy costs and destroyed jobs.
Tom Smith’s heavy television campaign carried the former coal company owner to a wide victory in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate. But in two recent interviews, he backed off of one of his most direct assertions: that he’d never vote to raise the debt ceiling.
Bob Casey has done it. For the first time in years, more than 50 percent of PA voters say they approve of the job he’s doing as Senator. Today’s Quinnipiac poll has several bits of good news for the freshman Senator and is the latest to show him winning re-election by a significant margin.
When it comes to breaching the partisan divide, our Senators may do it best. The Trib reports this morning on their strong working relationship. And while Pat Toomey has campaigned for Bob Casey’s Republican rival, it looks like he won’t be throwing any barbs at his colleague.
House Republicans were joined by three-dozen Democrats to repeal part of the health care law: a tax on medical devices. The GOP has launched a full court press, saying opposition to the tax illustrates the illegitimacy of all of Obamacare. President Obama has threatened to veto the repeal.
Conservative PAC FreedomWorks is launching an intensive ad campaign costing between $500,000 and $1 million and aimed to “pressure state lawmakers…to pass a school choice bill” this June, and also endorsing Sen. Bob Casey’s opponent, Tea Party-backed Tom Smith.
The Democrat-backed Paycheck Fairness Act fell short of cloture Tuesday, with Dems saying Romney and the right have failed women and Republicans calling the act a political stunt. Sens. Casey and Toomey split on the measure and it’s already become a campaign issue.
