Where's Bob Casey?

Where's Bob Casey at you ask? Well, he actually surfaced long enough to answer a few questions from the Daily News. Saw it first over at Attytood.

We called him up, asked him about five controversial issues. We got straight answers. No spin. No Kerry-style nuance. It must drive his consultants crazy.

Like it or not, this is where Casey stands:

But then in one of his answers he says:

[Defense of marriage amendment (which would ban same-sex marriage).] "I support the Defense of Marriage Act [passed in 1996, it defines marriage as a union of a man and woman] and a number of states have passed similar measures. But to have a great constitutional debate about this issue is completely unnecessary. This is used to divide people and appeal to bigotry."

Isn't that nuanced? It's a little wishy washy. And then there was something that reminded me of what Chuck Pennacchio says about being untouchable by the Democratic "leadership" and how they can't tell him what to do:

Casey also said that he has not softened his pro-life stance and that no national Democrat has asked him to follow a party line.

"They know where I stand and know I'm very independent," he said.

He's so independent he's barely outlining what he believes in time for the primary.

Good grief this guy is not good news in my eyes.
