It was the bottom of the ninth and Mudville was down by two runs, two on and two out when the Mighty Casey came up to bat. Casey took two strikes and then swung for the fences... STRIKE THREE!

Like the Mighty Casey in the famous Ernest Thayer poem, incumbent Senator Bob Casey is swinging for the fences in his bid to retain his Senate seat. He may not be down two; most polls have this race within the margin of error. The problem for Casey is that just a few short months ago, he was ahead by as many as nine points and there's no telling where the freefall will end. Will the Mighty Casey strike out?

His Republican challenger, Dave McCormick, is on the mound. He has the momentum at his back and he's throwing heat. 

'Bob Casey went to the Senate to change Washington and Washington changed Bob Casey' 

Strike One!

McCormick has successfully labeled Casey as a Washington insider. While Casey has been desperately trying to separate himself from Kamala Harris. He recently bailed on a Harris campaign event in Erie County where he was scheduled to speak and even ran campaign ads attempting to align himself with President Trump's agenda.

The approach hasn't been working. McCormick has been gaining endorsements from traditionally Democrat unions.

An IAFF Local endorsing a Republican?

Strike Two!

The pressure is on Casey. If he hopes to win he needs to close strong. He hasn't been challenged like this in eighteen years and it's clear he isn't sure what to do.

Two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Casey is down to his last strike.

Here's the pitch... He swings...

Will Bob Casey strike out?
