Amusingly, reminds me of Bob Casey here in PA, who was elected state treasurer in '76 right as Bob Casey (the future governor and father of the current senator, Bob Casey) termed out as auditor. He spent something like a measly $800 to win a contested primary. None of them to be confused with Bob Casey, of course, who won the Lt. Gov. primary two years later in '78 (the same year Bob Casey lost his first gubernatorial bid). No relation between any of them (except, of course, the Governor and the Senator). Like an ill-conceived Abbott and Costello bit. I've got half a mind to move to Scranton, change my name to Bob Casey, and run for Senate this year. Really throw 'em off (and put my (Scots-)Irish roots to good use).
