Senator Bob Casey is likely to be a speaker at the Democratic National Convention late this month in Denver, and much of the conversation swirling about his high profile concerns abortion. But in contrast to the conventional wisdom, he thinks nominee Barack Obama has more to offer than does Senator McCain for people who really care about the abortion issue.
"I don't necessarily think there has to be a 'Catholic strategy,' because I'm not sure the Catholic vote is any more monolithic or predictable than any other vote," Casey said in an interview. "The most committed pro-life voter and the most committed pro-choice voter can come together over the issue of how do we help pregnant women," Casey said. "When a pro-life voter considers that question, which has a moral gravity to it which we don't talk about enough, on balance Barack has a better record."
