Senator Bob Casey is the Latest Victim of the Dollar Dog Night Curse
The Dollar Dog Night Curse has claimed another victim. This time it’s Bob Casey, who lost his Senate seat to Dave McCormick. It’s not official yet because Casey refuses to concede, but the Associated Press called it last Thursday for McCormick and the new Senator was invited to orientation by Democrat Chuck Schumer today. So it’s over:
Schumer spokesman: “Ruben Gallego and David McCormick have been invited to attend orientation.”
Race called for Gallego last night; some organizations have called it for McCormick but Casey hasn’t conceded yet in Pa. as ballots are still being counted but he still trails

Now Bob Casey is unemployed for the first time in 17 years because he went against the Dollar Dog.
Here’s one last message to him as it looks like it’s curtains on his political career. You never go against the family:

I’m not going to lie, I can’t believe how angry this tweet still makes me. It’s just such a classic politician move. Here’s a guy whose major issue is fighting against corporate greed supporting the Phillies getting rid of Dollar Dog Night and replacing it with BOGO Night. A promotion that went from $1 hot dogs to two dogs for $5. That’s a 150% price point increase on hot dogs! Being celebrated! By a guy who apparently wants to stop corporations from strangling us with prices! You can’t make this shit up. Just another politician showing his ass. I thought this guy was different when together we got the Phillies to add another DDN to the schedule a couple years ago. It spoke to the little guy. It told your constituents that your politicians were listening. Turns out he’s just like them all of them. You don’t think people had that tweet in the back of their mind when they went into the booth last week? Of course they did. This was the tightest senate race in the country. It’s got another Senator calling his own people dipshits:
Pennsylvania is going to count every last vote.
That’s not controversial—that’s the law.
Also, Green dipshits’ votes helping elect the GOP. pic.twitter.com/KvdROvlkEq

I bet you Leila Hazou would’ve spoken out against BOGO Night if someone asked her. The Dems can’t blame anyone but themselves.
This cements the DDN curse as real. It’s a death sentence for anyone who dares betray it. Ask the Phillies. Before they got rid of DDN they had never lost to the Mets in the playoffs. Not only that, the Mets decided to embrace the event the same exact season the Phillies cancelled it:

And once again it proved to be the greatest promotion in the world:

44,000 dogs. That’s more dogs than votes separating the PA Senate election. Makes you think.
Now we gotta deal with this guy:

All because Bob Casey, or whoever runs Bob Casey’s account, went against the dogs. You never go against the dogs.
