Once upon a time Sen. Casey couldn’t get close enough to Obama, these days he’d rather rip out his fingernails then be seen with the Toxic Avenger-in-Chief.
Via Politico 44:
Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey couldn’t make it back to Scranton for President Obama’s visit today, citing “the timing of votes in the Senate.”
But it looks like he’ll have no problem completing the 151-mile trek back to Philadelphia Thursday night, for a fundraiser scheduled with Paul Begala and James Carville.
Sen. Claire McCaskill had a similar scheduling crunch when Obama came to Missouri in October, but was later caught strolling into an evening fundraiser.
