Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is trailing his Democratic challenger, Bob Casey, by 23 points according to the Rasmussen poll released Wednesday.

Yesterday, the ACLU filed suit against Santorum.

If that doesn't erase Santorum's deficit, nothing will.

MORE: All kidding aside, I would expect that lead to shrink as we approach November, especially if the NRA decides to focus its political clout in an effort to save Santorum's hide. Of course, this could all be karma coming back to bite Santorum in the butt after he joined Bush in campaigning for Arlen Specter against conservative Pat Toomey in 2004.

Additionally, Pennsylvania may be beyond political salvation. In a poll released last week by Rasmussen, Lynn Swann finds himself way behind an avowed enemy of the Second Amendment and common decency, Governor Ed Rendell. Eighteen points is a big gap to overcome for a challenger who already has great name recognition.

Question for anyone - if you could only have one of these two races go the way of the conservative, which would it be - Santorum's or Swann's?
