CATHOLICS FOR CASEY. I hesitate to report this, since I have argued for years that there really isn't a Catholic vote (votes among Catholics tend to break along the same lines as the general population). With that caveat, I pass on the word from MSNBC that Casey handily beat Santorum among Catholics, winning 57 percent of Catholics, according to exit polls. As I write, Santorum is giving his concession speech, calling Casey "a good man" who will do "a good job" for the people of Pennsylvania. Then he insisted his supporters cough up round of applause for Casey, which is a pretty classy act, especially from a guy who has compared queer folk to practioners of bestiality.
