K Lo: Casey didn’t run a bad race. Rather, he was a weak candidate who ran a good campaign–exactly the one he set out to run, one that sheltered him from the press, kept his public appearances to a minimum, and avoided doing anything that would take the attention away from his opponent. He had a game plan, he executed it, and he won. In the Senate, he will impress few and function as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chuck Schumer, except when he is occasionally given dispensation to cast a pro-life or pro-gun vote.
