Anti Bob Casey posters always point out Klink losing to Santorum in 2000 in an attempt to demonstrate the weakness of a pro-life Dem. I argue the opposite. I believe it is amazing that Mr. Klink received 47% of the vote against a very well known incumbent who severely outspent him. Compare that number to Joe Hoeffel.
