The Senate race in Pennsylvania is heating up as incumbent Senator Rick Santorum is trailing his opponent Bob Casey in the polls despite having raised twice as much campaign money. Hoping to help Mr. Casey out with his fundraising, sex columnist (and the one who coined the popular defitiion of the word "santorum") Dan Savage sent a $2100 check to his campaign, the maximum amount for a personal contribution.
Casey at first accepted the donation and even invited Dan to a campaign even in Seattle where he could have his photo taken with the candidate. Savage couldn't make the event, but days later the Casey campaign returned his check, claiming that Dan's occupation as a sex columnist could provide ammunition to Santorum's campaign that would be far more costly than $2100.
Savage took it like a man is now putting his money towards an organization called Philadelphians Against Santorum, who will help elect Bob Casey.

You go Dan....Casey should proudly take the money and try appealing to the GLBT community that would work hard to elect him as opposed to Santorum and his anti Gay hate spewing comments (I still don't understand how his openly Gay Press Secretary can work for that man!) I must also add that Dan Savage is a hottie..and writes amazing and humorous books and he has great insights. To label him as a just a sex columnist (not that there is anything wrong with that....let's see Santorum talks about man on dog sex (and how did he know about that unless...never mind) is so not what Dan Savage is...he is very insightful, smart and dead on...I wish the Dems nominated a pro choice candidate but defeating Santorum...let's get it done any way we can.....I only hope that Casey stands up for our civil rights!
