In Pennsylvania, incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is battling Tom Smith, a former Democrat and coal mine owner whose political career has been, up until now, primarily limited to his work on the Plumcreek Township Board of Supervisors. Smith came out of nowhere to win a competitive four-way GOP primary, prevailing over businessman Steve Welch, who was endorsed by the state Republican Party.

Casey is the co-sponsor of the widely-reviled SOPA and PIPA online piracy bills.

As of this writing, Casey enjoys a 49.2-44.1 percent lead in the HuffPost Pollster model, but the race has narrowed considerably since this summer. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is bankrolling a late-stage ad blitz in the hopes of lifting Smith over the top.

1. Bob Casey should win this

As a PA resident, I cant see how Tom Smith wins. This is the guy that told reporters that he had a daughter with a similar experience of getting raped. He told reporters his daughter had a child out of wedlock and that was just as bad as getting raped. Unfortunately that did not get the attention that Akin or Murdock got
